1988 film by Niki List

Johannes has a comfortable life and stands to inherit the family-run hotel. Unfortunately, however, he is an inveterate people-pleaser and avoids conflict at any cost. His father’s last will and testament sparks a tragi-comic journey to sunny Greece – and the realisation that it is time to take control of his own life.

Vienna in the early eighties: After a suicide attempt, Tina, who comes from a middle-class family, is hospitalized in a psychiatric ward. There she gets to know Gerhard, an apprentice plumber, who also wanted to do away with himself. He comes from a working class family. They fall for each other.
A modern love story which is set inside the real life circumstances of the closing of the alternative Youth Center "Gassergasse" in Vienna.

This original detective story has songs that refer to the unfolding plot combined with a cloak-and-dagger murder mystery that would feel at home in Sam Spade's office. When Max Muller (Christian Schmidt) starts to look for the missing fiance of the beautiful Bettina (Barbara Rudnik), his daily paper reports that Bettina has been killed. Now committed to the case, Max and his pal Andy (Andreas Vitasek) dig into the mystery of the missing boyfriend only to discover that the Mafia wants them out of it. With plot twists and turns in abundance, several corpses are left in the investigation's wake before the case is solved.
