Praterbuben

In postwar Vienna, a tight-knit circle of street-smart boys navigates a fragile world of humor, loyalty, and small adventures that mask deeper longing for belonging. As they carve out space for mischief and camaraderie, they encounter the moral gray areas of growing up—where kindness clashes with hardship, and everyday choices ripple into unexpected consequences. Through their eyes, the city becomes a living playground and a testing ground, shaping identities and revealing the stubborn resilience of youth.
