"Romeo Kaltenbrunner - Homesickness"

Romeo has to go home, from Vienna to Upper Austria. Grandma is dying. Again. The journey to his hometown is also a time travel back to his own childhood and youth. He meets his old teenage love again, whom he unfortunately wasn't allowed to kiss back in school. Her family had forbidden it. Partly because Romeo had the wrong skin color, but mainly because he had too few hectares (Note: none at all). Romeo visits a tent festival in the village, where the same band that played 15 years ago is still performing, and where the same Nazis from 15 years ago still want to beat him up. It's wonderful when some things in life just stay the same. Surrounded by the smell of grilled chicken and slightly drunk from a whole box of Jägermeister, Romeo becomes nostalgic. Should he not return to Vienna, where people are more liberal—but unfortunately also more boring? Is this village truly his real home? What is home anyway? Can one be proud of their homeland if they don't know their own father? In his second cabaret program "HEIMWEH," Romeo Kaltenbrunner talks about growing up in the countryside and what it’s like to look different than what one’s family name and dialect might suggest.
