Synopsis
Live. Love. Dance. Now! Mae roams the streets of Vienna as a punk in her dead brother's Converse shoes. She lives on canned beer, sprays walls, tries her hand at poetry slams. She’s not interested in bourgeois life but in extreme experiences. When she is sent to an AIDS centre to work off a punishment, she meets and falls in love with the AIDS patient Paul. CHUCKS, the new film by Sabine Hiebler and Gerhard Ertl, tells the featherlight story of growing up between life and death. Full of humour, at times rebelliously loud, then utterly tender – completely in the spirit of the literary version it is based on, the popular novel by Cornelia Travnicek about which Clemens J. Setz once wrote: “If I were to get stuck in a lift with a character of contemporary literature, I would want it to be Mae. I don’t know whether I would come out safe and sound, but it would be worth it.”
