Toxic Dreams: The Bruno Kreisky Lookalike

Hermann Swoboda is an insurance broker. His desperate struggle to lose weight entails heavy consumption of Greek salad. Generally speaking, he hates his current life, and he erupts about this in his weekly therapy sessions at great length.

Critical Mass is a leading Austrian ad agency that eagerly seeks to expand its market share. Their commissioned survey about Austrian personalities with the highest popularity ratings delivered a clear result: Bruno Kreisky. The agency staff develops a strategy with a Kreisky doppelganger as the centre of several ad campaigns.

Coincidentally, Hermann Swoboda looks a lot like Bruno Kreisky. The next logical step is a marriage of convenience: The insurance broker lives a new life as a B-list celebrity aka Bruno Kreisky lookalike, and Critical Mass rakes in the cash of the Kreisky machine.

The Bruno Kreisky Lookalike is a fake Netflix sitcom, shot in Austria, conceived for an international audience.
