You take things around you for granted. So you don't want what's right next to you, but what's far away.

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.
