Every day we read stories about family tragedies. Every day families take pleasure in their alienation, contenting themselves with information and a life on the cheap. Every day they have less to decide about and hate themselves for their fear. Every day they suffer more from their lives. Every day many of them wear themselves out fighting this fact. Every day they speak less and laugh louder. Every day feel the need to take a decision in order to be able to breathe. This film is a chronicle of these decisions. It does not intend to bear any judgement. It knows no answer. It questions the cause. (M. Haneke)
