A darkly comedic, chaotic portrait of a Viennese working-class family's Mother's Day weekend that spirals into absurdist mayhem.

48 hours in the life of the Neugebauer family. The May weekend with a small family celebration, which was planned as peaceful and contemplative, turns out to be a kind of Rocky Horror Picture Show in Vienna's municipal housing estate. Just like the other residents, the Neugebauers are preparing for the impending Mother's Day.
