Peter Turrini turns 75. The comical catastrophy he considers his own life to be, started in Carinthian village Maria Saal. As a chubby child of an Italian immigrant he always felt set back by the young natives. He started to imagine his own world. And these imaginations brought us more than 40 stage plays, essays, poems, speeches, children’s books… The film reflects the sometimes painful story of the poets life. Always on the verge of triumph and defeat, euphoria and depression, tragedy and comedy. Simply put – a comical catastrophy.
