Norbert Peter - Fit with Amalie - Offline vs. Online - The final tally will be at the end

Staying fit to survive – this is something that even a retiree cannot ignore. The 81-year-old Amalie Kratochwill, a true Viennese character from the medical cabaret of Peter & Tekal, wants to participate – physically, mentally, and spiritually. She certainly has enough life wisdom to achieve this goal.

However, it’s not just about her. As a role model for the geriatric fitness movement, she also wants to motivate those around her to work on their own health and resilience. If only the preparation for it weren’t so exhausting.

A fitness trainer provided by the senior meeting point is supposed to support her in this. Josef Hartlieb (60) has other ambitions as well: As the newly minted (and only) graduate of the AMS course "Fit in Old Age," he aims not only to keep the older generation physically fit but also to ensure they don’t fall behind in the digital world. That’s why he is excited about his first student… at least at the beginning. Because Mrs. Kratochwill has little regard for the digital world. Everything was better back then – more serene, more relaxed, and yet more exciting.

To awaken Josef Hartlieb and convey the feeling of life from the past, perhaps all it takes is a few mementos from a time when one had to make do with two meager TV channels on the sofa and was trained to fall asleep to the sounds of the national anthem in front of the television. Instead of Sudoku and Wordle, there were 5-error picture puzzles to solve in the Krone and youth literature where a “real” Doctor Sommer explained the world until one’s mouth was left agape. Bravo!

It would be quite a feat if, with the help of nostalgic display pieces, today’s youth could also be spiritually invigorated. It’s a good thing that a special kind of store has opened just around the corner: a retro discount store called "Offline"! If only a second checkout would finally open…
