The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.
The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.
This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.
If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.
IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Plot – Spoilers:
Antares captures a few days in the lives of two sets of people. The two groups of characters are mildly interconnected with one critical encounter when two of them literally intersect with each other. The other commonality with all the characters is that most of them live in and around a bleak council-type housing complex. The weather is forever gloomy and the characters’ lives not too dissimilar.
Petra Morze is a nurse married to boring Hary Prinz – Antares kicks off when Andreas Patton visits her from her another city. The two have had a sexual encounter previously that seems like a craigslist type one-off since she doesn’t seem to even know his surname. Her teenage daughter is meanwhile similarly bored at home.
The other group of characters include a supermarket cashier (Susanne Wuest), her Yugoslavian immigrant boyfriend Marco (Dennis Cubic) and his lover Martina Zinner – an older woman recently separated from her abusive real estate boyfriend (Andreas Kiendl). While Dennis Cubic appears to be committed to his relationship with Susanne, he looks at his infidelity as merely a physical performance and nothing more. Andreas Kiendl is bitter over his breakup and desperate to impress on Martina that he is now successful. However his abusive nature kicks in at the slightest provocation leaving her numb to his clumsy overtures. She also seems to gain a lot of her courage dealing with him from the fact that she’s in a fulfilling relationship that he so obviously doesn’t have.
The reason for Petra cheating initially doesn’t seem reasonable. Her lover looks timid and equally as boring as her husband at first. But the more you watch the more it makes sense. He photographs her a lot and she seems to love modeling for him. The attention. With the husband, the conversations are about his passion for classical music and the like. The lover also understands and indulges her kinky side and makes efforts to their encounters as special for her as possible.
Favorite Scenes:
Petra and her husband’s stilted conversation where he mentions the ‘obscene scribbler’ in the lift twice: He appears titillated by the scribbler while also proud about coining the name – obscene scribbler – which is as interesting as he’s gonna get for her all day.
The sex scene where the housekeeping lady is asked to watch them: Initially, Petra on opening her eyes and seeing her, reacts with shame, but then begins to enjoy it. The looks the two women exchange turns the whole scene into a tender lesbian encounter.
The Yugo disco scenes: Marco’s innate small townness shines through on the back of his traditional village-like family-values-inspired desire to have kids.
Andreas Kiendl as the bitter real-estate agent is hilariously brilliant in all of his scenes where he interacts with potential clients.
Autotune wtf u got goin on 😔
3 couples with relationship issues are intertwined by happenstance while co-existing in a depressing environment. In each couple therein lies a love obsession with dark undertones. As with most love obsessed character studies, tragedy eventually enters in to the equation and sadness follows. Very good film. 4 stars.
That was about as bleak as it gets. Had to watch it in parts to cope.
Not a bad film, sad and arty
Lots of style in it
Real nice shots
Fine film this, deserving of a wider audience
Fantastic movie. At the beginning I thought it was one of those mo ones that was soft core porn and would be a shit movie. But the plot really develops well. Great watch would recommend it. I chose this film at random as well.
This movie has no end, yup.. in every movie story, there is always a weak character, who can’t do anything, yup,, that character is Petra’s husband. he just wants to have a happy family and cheerful children. he is unlucky to have a wife like Petra
The housekeeper’s expression was priceless.
Great film, good actors. Like many indie films, the ending was inconclusive, but I still liked it.
Man This Movie is Effed up for sure XD and i kinda feel sorry for the brothers in the Movie. imagine what couples do behind they’r backs. Lord Have mercy!!!!!
Man This Movie is Effed up for sure XD
Oh I exist alright 🙂 U fucking know this
Well cured and pretty stylish; quite solid and very well put together; the acting is overall decent where not pretty good (apart for one character, but doesn’t ever become unwatchable or puttyoffy anyhow, just not great). It takes it’s time and moves quite low-key, but t does it good. I liked the photography and the general look of it, very well tuned with the story and the rest. The script it’s a little fancy, meaning that it plays with the three story told, but in a functional and not pretentios way. I would surely racconand it, not though to who looks for pure entertainment and the typical mainstream things, more to who s a cinema lover that likes relationships investigations and a pretty realistic deadpan approach, without delving too deep but also avoiding the usual shallownes and banality that is usually put in front of our eyes. … I liked how balanced the being”good”/being”bad” of the charcters rapresented neve goes overboard and keeps them quite human and enough real. I maybe would have liked to have something more of some characters that just slightly partecipate, the husband, the daughter… Yea I would have digged if well integrated in the rest a couple more sections… Overall I found it a quite good movie surely worth a go. If u like something like Fear eats the soul by Fassbinder for example I think you’ll like this (very different as it is).
this is a never ending meandering piece of hot garbage. I think my heart rate actually slowed down to a near death range during this uneventful film.
good
