Ida Kinzel:

“You don’t miss anything when you’re with yourself”

What drives young people? How do they see the world? In his series "We're not like that!", Robert Schneider seeks to talk to young people. He recently met high school graduate Ida Kinzel from Bregenz.

The hustle and bustle of lunch at Café Steinhauser in Dornbirn is over. The restaurant has emptied out. An elderly gentleman sits in the front area, attentively reading the "Standard". Two elderly ladies are chatting in "Doarbiererisch". I listen unobtrusively to this beautiful old dialect, which is increasingly being lost. The music is muted. The waiters are taking turns at the counter. I've arrived a little early for my interview appointment and ask if I can have a seat at the very back of the restaurant. The head waiter doesn't care. He nods in a friendly manner. My guest, 19-year-old Ida Kinzel, enters the restaurant right on time. I wave to her.
