Volver la vista - der umgekehrte Blick

You Take Things Around You For Granted. So You Don't Want What's Right Next To You, But What's Far Away.

VOLVER LA VISTA moves the viewer into the perspective of a foreigner. Mexicans who live in Austria and Austrians who spend their lives in Mexico: through clichés and yearnings - these emigrants create a picture of their countries, and through determining their location, attempt to their identity. They are accompanied by two cinematographers, who also go to a "foreign" place. Their views go along with the narrators and narratives into the respective, other country.
