Slumming

This film is available in Germany.

Sebastian is a rich slacker who has no respect for anyone or anything. Sebastian gets a kick out of manipulating people, of toying with them and messing up their lives. Always on the lookout for an opportunity, Sebastian likes to hang out in Vienna’s seedy bars and coffee shops. His good looks make it easy for him to attract women, and he uses the internet to meet young women that he can impress with his overblown stories. Primary school teacher Pia is his latest conquest, but she learns of his cruelty just as their relationship starts to get serious.
