SYNOPSIS

In the district of Simmering, there are four old gasometers. These gigantic cylindrical reservoirs made of red brick date from the beginning of the last century. They have been transformed into an immense complex that includes appartments, offices, student accommodation, shops, a cinema complex, a sports centre, restaurants, bars, galleries, a concert venue etc. « Kaléidoscope » visits this exceptional setting in the company of onlookers and locals (residents, artistes, historians, architects). In all, Kaléidoscope presents you with a picture of Vienna that will take your breath away.
