Comments: Red China finally has had enough of Google and attacks their headquarters in Mountain View, California. The United States responds with nuclear weapons. Well, you can imagine what happens. Humans survive, some in mutated forms. A media mogul enlists two of his youngest employees, a reporter and a camera operator, to wander the wasteland to find and interview an inventor named Echsenfriedl. This interview will solidify his name among nerds, which is a rising faction of the population. The two employees don't get along but their cooperation may allow them to keep their jobs, if they aren't killed by the mutants or detained by the Postal Service!
This Austrian film is presented mostly in German but also there's some French and English, and Reformed Styrian. It's independent but well produced. The humor is tongue-in-cheek. The silliness tends to be geeky, but it is funny. This short movie makes fun of just about everything and everybody, including other films! There's a scene after the ending credits with a few, classic references. It's available, without charge, on YouTube.
