The three characters of the film came to Mexico - fleeing from the Nazis - because it was the only country which was willing to accept them. After overcoming the first cultural shock, a life long struggle - with the perception of home that was left behind in Vienna - began. Ruth Deutsch, explores as an ethnologist what she is not : a native of Mexico. Bruno Schwebel paints the Mexican landscape that impressed him so much at his arrival. The architect Oscar Roemer picks out Aztecan architecture as a central theme in his houses. As the youngest he believes the most in an ideal Vienna. A few weeks before we started shooting the film he visited his old home country for the first time: “There I started yearning to die in Vienna, like the animals who go back to their place of birth - to die.”
