LatestHead waiter Fernando's job is a balancing act. Guests make it as difficult as possible for him and his team: a loud marital argument, a blind date with false assumptions, and a mother-son dinner full of nasty surprises. While a family reunion escalates in a private room, a man arrives with a gun...
Why am I standing in the slow line? Why am I being fired? Why is she falling in love with him and not me? Why me? That's the question we all ask ourselves so often. In thousands of situations. In six episodes, David Schalko, with his trademark dark humor, tells of life situations in which this question is central: WHY ME?
Writing
Schalko's dialogue cuts like a Viennese waiter ignoring you.
Direction
Each episode finds fresh visual language for universal pettiness.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Schalko continues Austria's proud tradition of miserabilist comedy—think Haneke with better one-liners and worse coping skills.
The anthology structure mirrors how we compartmentalize our own grievances—each 'why me' exists in its own sealed bubble of resentment.
