Electrician, machinist, fruit expert, optimist: Wilma (Fritzi Haberlandt) is a woman with many talents, countless certificates and pallets of disappointments. Until the end of the 1990s, she lived in the Lusatian brown coal district. But when her husband cooked spaghetti stark naked with another woman and she was fired from her job at the DIY store, Wilma fled her home for Vienna. In her mid-40s, she has to start from scratch and quickly ends up working as a handyman. Soon she is repairing her way through Vienna's suburbs, ends up in a left-wing bohemian flat share, becomes a specialist in repairs of all kinds and even a teacher in a traditional dance school. Between waltzes and electrical installations, Wilma discovers a feeling she had long forgotten: being in love, being happy, the excited hope of something new. Thrown into the uncertainties of a future in which anything is possible, Wilma becomes a different person.

WILMA WILL ME MORE is a charming, sensitively observed tragicomedy told with wry humor that is as accurate in its depiction of reality as it is optimistic in its hopeful and touching melancholy.
