STAYING ALIVE

Original Titel: Hermes Phettberg: "Ich will leben!"

He was an Austrian talk show host in the 90s, known for having a special sense of humour, a great ability to communicate, a preference for young men in skinny Jeans and too many kilos for his bathroom scales After three strokes he not only lost most of his weight, but all of the money. He lives in poor conditions and he is hardly able to read or to speak. But his mind is still clear. Hermes Phettberg is afraid to be forgotten. He says: “I want to stay alive.”
