Discover the hidden world of the former meat factory in Vienna's Sonnwendviertel through the lens of filmmaker Dariusz Kowalski.

Discover the hidden world of the former meat factory in Vienna's Sonnwendviertel through the lens of filmmaker Dariusz Kowalski.


Nestled in a niche between the city's motorway and industrial sites lies a former meat factory, now home to a vibrant community of entrepreneurs and creatives. From the growl-metal band's rehearsal room to the conceptual artist's studio, the film uncovers a patchwork of interests and perspectives, as diverse as the city itself.


Kowalski's documentary offers a refreshing take on urban development, challenging the notion of gentrification by celebrating the beauty of impermanence. With a laid-back montage of snapshots and subtle humor, the film captures the essence of a temporary community that may be gone in a flash.
