In which a supermarket cashier began seeing God; or little etudes of everyday life.

Gabi Kovanda lives a totally ordinary life in the countryside where she works as a cashier in a supermarket and takes care of her husband and son. The only variety in her otherwise dull existence is brought by aerobics class. That is, until God begins speaking to her. The at first random “zone-outs”, during which communication with the higher power takes place, gradually become more frequent, leading to many new situations and encounters. This enchantingly hypnotic motion picture contains humor as well as traces of the absurd; it is the second feature length film by well-known Austrian actor, Karl Markovics.
