"The New --- The Seventh Continent"

is literary and artistic enough, exploratory enough, nervous enough, food and clothing enough, and leisurely enough to hurt!
Only after adding the time stamp, can we see some meaning!
1989-05-20, Country/Region of Production: Austria.


After the defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945, Austria was occupied by the Allied and Soviet forces until the Austrian State Treaty was signed in 1955.
After Austria was declared a permanent neutral country, the armies of various countries that occupied Austria withdrew one after another, and Austria finally gained independence and became the Second Austrian Republic today.
After the disintegration of communist regimes in Eastern Europe in 1989, Austria gradually became involved in more European integration processes, joining the European Union in 1995 and the Eurozone in 1999.

It turned out that 1989 was a year of violent turmoil. Around this time point, Austria wanted to give up its neutrality attitude.
An application to join the European Community was formally submitted to the Council of Ministers of the European Community. Because of the neutrality of Austria and its international obligations, this application caused objections from the Soviet Union and other countries.
In the same year, Hungary opened its border with Austria, and large numbers of East Germans fled to the West.

Therefore, this itself is an era of smashing all the old worlds, and this itself is an era of seeking destruction and rebirth.
The seventh continent in this film is not only the original Eastern European world, but also not only the European Community, but also a short-term release of the imprisoned soul!

However, literature and art belong to literature and art, the toilet has flushed the shilling, and the euro has not come yet, so be careful!

The Seventh Continent quotes

  • Anna Schober: Four days ago, at the beginning of the month, Georg started in his new position. It took him a lot to get there. You might remember that when he first started, his new boss didn't like him at all. But now he's made it. He brought new inspiration to the department. So when his boss fell ill with an intestinal problem and was off sick more than at work, Georg was asked to take over the department provisionally. His boss is retiring soon anyway. Georg's appointment as head of department is just a formality now. You have every reason to be proud of your son. Alexander is much better. He went on a cruise to Scandinavia which did him a world of good. He sends his regards. Georg's senior boss Dr. Breitenfels is coming for dinner tonight. This is our way of thanking him for his party two weeks ago where Georg's new position was unofficially confirmed. His boss is a real gourmet, so I'll have to cook something extra special. I'll try your stuffed duck recipe, Mother. Wish me luck.

  • Anna Schober: Have you gone mad?

    Evi Schober: Have you gone mad? Why?

    Anna Schober: Why? How come you say you're blind? Are you mad?

    Evi Schober: I didn't.

    Anna Schober: You didn't? Your teacher made it up? Answer me.

    Evi Schober: I never said that.

    Anna Schober: Look at me. Come on, tell me, did you pretend to be blind? Come on, tell me. I just want to know the truth. Come on. Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. Is it true? Did you pretend to be blind?

    Evi Schober: Yes.

    [Anna slaps Evi in the face]
