Glücksachen

For thirty years Anna sat at the checkout in the supermarket; now she is retired and doesn't know what to do with her life. She drifts through Viennese museums and cafés until one day in the park she gets into a conversation with a group of bikers. And suddenly the old lady reveals quite unexpected talents ...

Directed by Peter Patzak, Glücksachen leans on a strong ensemble — Paula Wessely, Jane Tilden, Heinz Zuber — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1977.
