You can't argue about the weather. It is simply there. Normally it should be a "secure basis of shared reality". But what if it's raining and someone says: what glorious sunshine today?
The first road traffic regulations will be enforced in a small town in 2022. As a trial. Because: there are too many accidents, order is needed. This news makes big waves in dagmar, inga and ronda's flat share. inga and ronda are enthusiastic because some of the rules make perfect sense to them. ronda gets involved in traffic light construction and collects data for the start-up app flexview. inga develops floating bed reactors for climate-neutral energy generation from meat waste because the traffic lights need electricity. However, dagmar, who suffers from chronic bronchitis, is boycotting this "threat to the community of solidarity" because she doesn't want to pay taxes for people like that. She has more important things to do: the nursery for the soon expected addition to the family, jeremiah, has to be furnished. The problem: her partner ronda doesn't want a child. Things get even worse for dagmar, because inga has a career and works for the mayor, ronda wants out of the marriage and dagmar is very worried about her freedom, feels left alone and protests loudly. "Who wants spinach?" is right up there with the question of whether a woman should bring another child into this world. Facts are distorted and private desires are instrumentalised. Only one constant remains: the conversation. But what about the shared flat?
With draußen ist wetter (or the invention of the road traffic regulations) - the first part of his communication trilogy - Caspar-Maria Russo has created his very own, absurdly funny and at the same time precisely realistic portrait of generations Y and Z. He holds a mirror up to us, but above all creates spaces to think about things in a new way. Discussions sometimes end in despair, sometimes in humour, sometimes in understanding, sometimes in incomprehension and rejection, remain fair or become unfair, but are above all one thing: human.

[E]s sind diese Diskussionen, die wir alle geführt haben und vermehrt führen […]. Und wie das dann auseinanderfällt und man überhaupt gar keine gemeinsame Basis mehr findet darüber zu sprechen, das ist wirklich sehr raffiniert und […] sehr komisch gemacht.
