They are prepared to do almost anything to get a ticket into the EU. Young men from the Balkans come to Austria on student visas with the intention of marrying Austrian women. Some pay their brides up to 14,000 Euros. Through the marriage they hope to gain EU citizenship. What does it take to cross European borders? A talent for improvisation, charm and luck. In this self-experiment Atanas Georgiev documents the life of the men during their journey through the underworld of the Vienna migrant scene.
