HILDA lets us dive into the mindset of a 85 year old humorous farmer from Lower Austria, who reflects upon love, life, her freedom and death.
Hilda Lackner is 85 and lives alone on a secluded farm in Lower Austria. She has endured almost a whole century and has kept her sense of humour all this time. She has had a good life since her husband died 13 years ago. He was a serious alcoholic. She talks to herself a lot.
“I am free… like a bird!” she often said.
As her strength diminishes she realizes her independence is threatened and she takes radical action.
