RADICAL  INCLUSION is a compelling call for a sweeping social overhaul, a documentary that challenges and redefines what true inclusion means.

Through the powerful experiences of people with disabilities, it reveals how deep structural and societal barriers profoundly disrupt daily lives and systematically deny basic rights. This film scrutinizes the often inadequate and superficial efforts labeled as inclusion, exposing them as mere symbolic gestures, and highlights the urgent need for genuine change.

RADICAL INCLUSION  asserts that a truly inclusive society is not an unattainable utopia but an essential, urgently needed alternative to the status quo, presenting a vision for a future where inclusion is not just a policy but a reality for all.

A small theater in Vienna is a center of creativity and inclusion that has been bringing together trained actors and theater enthusiasts with and without disabilities for almost three decades. Since its foundation, the theater has been run by Gabriele Weber and her partner Georg Wagner and has quickly developed into a place where artistic boundaries are crossed and supposed barriers are broken down. The film accompanies the ensemble and everyone involved – from the performers to the theater management – through the entire creative process: during rehearsals, acting classes and all activities related to the theater.

The TV documentary HOMO LUDENS sheds light on a fundamental phenomenon of human life and poses the question: Why do we play? It approaches this topic in an artistic and innovative way by applying psychological, anthropological and cultural perspectives on the one hand, and taking a philosophical approach on the other. What psychological processes lie behind the human urge to play? Is it (always) about escaping from reality? Both individual and societal behavioral patterns that lie behind the fascination of playing are examined. It becomes clear how multifaceted play can be: From drama and sporting competition to the simulation of geopolitical conflicts through game theory.

An alternative timeline around the year 1800: VEDUNIA, a dark and sinister city, reminiscent of the historical center of Vienna, lies like a sleeping giant on the Danube. Humans and river people have coexisted in a fragile balance for centuries. But this balance is threatening to break.

The 17-year-old MARTIN MUX, a crook and master thief, has never believed in ancient myths – until he discovers a truth after breaking into an old mansion that changes him forever: He is to accept the dark legacy of his ancestor, the Devil Locksmith, and free Underdevil BELTAN.

As Beltan’s followers form and ancient powers awaken, Martin must make a decision: Will he remain a man driven by his destiny – or will he rescue Vedunia from its dark legacy?
