Fify Ibrahim hört auf!
Fify Ibrahim hört auf?
Gabriele Mathes
A documentary film about a small shop
expected to soon go bankrupt in a public
housing project on the western outskirts
of Vienna. Fify Ibrahim manages a grocery
store for “the little people,” the inhabitants
of the housing project. Why shouldn’t this
shop shut down like its two predecessors
that were located here? Do my neighbors
understand what they will be losing if Fify
Ibrahim really closes the store down?

Frauenfragmente:
Gini und Resi
Sophie Gmeiner
After Resi (59) was able to lead her life largely
autonomously despite her mental disability,
she has been living in the local retirement
home in her hometown of Kössen, Tyrol for
a few years now. The unconventional Gini
(61) is Resi’s sister and guardian, but also her
closest ally from the family. Their indestructible
humor holds the two sisters together,
even though in Resi’s life there would have
been every reason to lose heart. In March
2020 Resi died of corona disease.
