Synopsis
This modern Passion story of an outsider is located in the "cozy" Viennese civic and wine tavern milieu of the Viennese suburb district Ottakring. The focus is on Ferdinand Novacek, a "poor devil" who came to Vienna as a refugee child in the "time after the great genocide in order to find a new home here". The plot begins in 1976 with a commemoration: the district politician (Peter Hey) and the bread factory owner (Emanuel Schmied) unveil in the presence of all residents in the courtyard of a Ottakringer residential building a plaque for Ferdinand Novacek, the "Jesus of Ottakring".
