One Second Of Sehnsucht“ deals with our creative protagonist’s future, that actually didn’t happen. Starting in the mid-nineties, Dian continuously dreamt about a life in New York City. To this day, he never lived or worked outside of Austria, and has never visited New York City.

Surrounded by the confrontation with his younger self(s), the film visualizes Dian’s longing for long gone dreams and distant influences along the path of life. The voice recites his way of finding peace in acceptance of life as an ongoing process. Sometimes the things that never happen have just as big of an influence.

All that wasn’t meant to be… matters just the same.
