In 2025, a political party whose colour is blue almost provided Austria with its federal chancellor. The party is already part of the government in five federal states. In Styria, it even supplies the state governor. This trend is set to continue. The film illustrates the first verse of the Austrian national anthem: "Land of mountains, land on the river, land of fields, land of cathedrals, land of hammers, full of promise!" The 16 mm film strip, comprising six black-and-white shots, has been coloured blue using original silent film technology. A film that aims to capture the mood in a country.
