The Last Real Men

Ulrich Seidl

Disappointed by failed relationships and high demands of Austrian women more and more Austrians try their luck in marrying a Thai or Philippine woman. Asked for the advantages of asian women, their Austrian husbands often reply that they "don't talk back".

The hero of this film is Karl S., a Viennese high-school teacher around forty. After a failed marriage he wishes for a more durable relationship and longs for a wife who doesn't question her traditional role. The solution for him is the marriage with an asian woman.

Karl S. is looking for informations and visits different mixed marriages to get his ideas confirmed. The film accompanies Karl S. on his search for the "ideal wife" and offers views inside the world of these "last real men" who finally seem to be right.
