Martha and Alex are on the road. They drive an antique red car through a somewhat less magnificent landscape stretching between Lower Austria and the Czech Republic. Their relationship oscillates between carnal moments in nature and petty quarrels while driving. They don’t seem to have a destination. At a drive-in McDonald’s they ludicrously overorder, the munching progressing into a funny kissing scene.

Born in 1974, he studied at the Austrian Film Academy as student of Michael Haneke, Christian Berger and Götz Spielmann. After his degree, he worked as screenplay author and director of photography for various artists and movie productions. As director Thomas did the international renown feature documentary Faces of the Frontier (2009). Ordinary Creatures is Thomas Marschall’s first narrative feature film.
