short synopsis:

Sola is the last survivor in Vienna – the city is hers. Without electricity or running water she lives a dreary routine. She strays around through abandoned homes – always in search of food and possible survivors. Yet there is no lack of necessities, but solitude drives her in an increasingly critical state. The only saving grace in their empty world is music.Every day she goes for one hour in a church to play the organ – even though she never had practice before. One day Sola makes a long-awaited discovery and hope lights for her again….
