In Vienna’s Central Cemetery, an endangered European hamster battles rivals and city life to survive.
Amid gravestones and hedges in Vienna’s
Central Cemetery, an unlikely survivor thrives.
The European hamster. As spring awakens
the city, instinct drives him through a maze of
stone, shadow, and turf. Mating season is near,
and competition is fierce, not with predators,
but with rivals, hunger, and unpredictable
urban challenges. This is a surprising story of
life pushing through the cracks, told through
the sharp eyes and tireless paws of one of
Europe’s most endangered mammals.
For fans of unexpected wildlife stories, urban
nature, and small heroes with big stakes.
The screening is followed by a talk with director Jura Bakx.
