Rickerl
AT/DE 2024, 101 min, Adrian Goiginger
Erich “Rickerl” Bohacek (36) is working as a cemetery gardener in Vienna while he tries to take off as a musician - his true passion lies in story-songs from his life. Rickerl has been pursuing his heart and soul into his songs for many years, but the last, decisive step is missing: finally writing them down properly and handing them over to his manager Charly so that they can produce an album.
When he loses his job at the cemetery, he once again has to deal with the AMS (employment office), Austria's largest employer.
Meanwhile, his 6-year-old son Dominik lives with his mother Viki in a beautiful house in an upperclass area - a life that Rickerl could never offer. Rickerl sees his son every two weeks, for whom he wants to be nothing less than the best dad in the world, but his father's unreliability has made Dominik agitated. Rickerl's ex-wife Viki is torn between her new partner, the conservative Kurti, and Rickerl, for whom Viki still feels a great fascination. Although Rickerl knows that Dominik means everything to him in life, he struggles to build a deeper relationship with his son.
Rickerl finds solace and inspiration for his music in the charming Viennese “Beisln” (pubs). Here he becomes an artist who touches people with the art of his songs accompanied by his guitar. But selfdoubt and the fear of failure stand in the way of him realizing his dream.
When Rickerl forgets his guitar while camping with Dominik, his life is thrown into complete disarray. He has just started a new job as a salesman in an erotic store when he realizes the painful loss of his musical instrument. Without hesitation, he sets off in search of it and in the process loses sight of Dominik, whom he had taken to work in the erotic store without permission.
When Viki finds out about the incident and tells him that Dominik no longer wants to see his father, Rickerl realizes that he has to change. Rickerl seizes the opportunity. With courage and determination, he finally records the songs for his first album and sets a clear example - for himself and for his son.
