Dir: Michael Gülzow | AT 2025 | Feature film | 79 mins | Original version with English subtitles
Starring: Anna Rieser, Julia Posch, Hannes Bickel, Jakob Egger, Philipp Hauß, Anke Zillich and others.

What happens when a DIY film project in the 1990s leads to the realisation that Austria is ruled by lizard people? With humour, intelligence and a playful touch, Michael Gülzow challenges our perceptions, whilst examining conspiracy theories and their links to the rising far right.
