Enredo

"Traman" is a Sanskrit word and means protection or umbrella. Robert "Rob" is a narcissist, in love with himself up to obsession. His umbrella is made up of thousands of selfies, that help him to create another, more attractive, self and an alternative life: A villa by the lake, a Porsche and beautiful women stand in gross contrast to the dreariness of his everyday life, in which one day he meets the nurse of his disabled mother. She, too, flees from reality in her own way. David Hofer's slanted, Austrian drama shows the painful clash between dreams (Austrian: "Traman") and reality, between the "real" and the virtual world, including collateral damage. A film that is funny and brutal at the same time. And that gets stuck. Maybe longer than the viewer would like.—Snowdance Film Festival

Rob Fusion is young, handsome and fruitful. To name it, a villa at the lake, a porsche and girls mould his life, but do they really? David Hofer presents two lead characters (Michael Kuglitsch, Nadine Zeintl). Both are determined to be different in their own way. Both nearly fail. In eighty-two diverting minutes the Austrian drama is screened. It shows the painful clash between trauma and reality, between the real and the virtual world. Collateral damage included.—Traman
