Jakob M. Erwa adopts a neo-realist approach. The camera work is handheld and observational, often using natural light. This gritty aesthetic grounds the film in reality, making the characters' experiences feel authentic and immediate. The use of location in Graz is significant; the city is not romanticized but presented as a collection of bus stops, shopping malls, and half-empty apartments—spaces that reflect the characters' sense of limbo.

The pacing is deliberate, allowing silences to linger. These pauses are often more telling than the dialogue, highlighting the characters' loneliness and the emptiness of their surroundings. Recommendations for archivists:
