action

Ciao Chérie plays in a call shop in Vienna - Ottakring . Larisa was forced to continue running the small business after her husband left for Belgrade. In addition to money transfers to the families back home, conversations between refugees and those left behind, between lovers and between siblings who have not seen each other for years, over a distance of thousands of kilometers, are held in the shop's telephone booths . In between there are also contacts among customers. People from different nations come together in the Call Shop, so you can hear the most varied of languages ​​and be introduced to the most varied of life stories .

For example in those of the shy angels who are doing an apprenticeship and hoping to ease their homesickness for Togo over the phone. Mimi, on the other hand, has a secret affair with a man in Italy, she comes to the shop to talk to him on the phone and to ask her best friend in Japan for advice. An Afghan teenager also leads a double life, while his brother on the phone forces him to agree to the engagement to a compatriot, he jokes with his unsuspecting Viennese girlfriend in front of the cabin. Dioma from Senegal tries to persuade her friend to come back to Austria. Samo doesn't know what to say when his family from Syria tells him, for example, that they only have electricity for a short time every twenty days.

reception

Martin Thomson wrote in the daily Die Presse : “After hanging up, the camera often pauses in front of people's empty expressions. What has been said seems to reverberate in them. Tears flow. It didn't work: You have to get back to everyday life and come to terms with staying lonely and feeling strange. Taking these borderline states in the emotional life of immigrants seriously and exploring them instead of dismissing them as sentimental trivialities is a great achievement of Kusturica. "

Alexandra Seibel said in the daily newspaper Kurier that Kusturica would open up a whole world and its variety of longings, identities and lost homes in her one-room film. “Instead of preaching multiculturalism, she unfolds little vignettes that are brought to bloom in Neulerchenfelderstrasse. And time and again the camera finds new perspectives to cast its gaze. "
