A debate on escapism with Jasmin Hagendorfer and Johannes Grenzfurthner. Escapism, as a postmodern condition, where one is constantly dissatisfied with a current whatever situation, always looking for something else, always running away from whatever becomes a routine, always looking for a second home.
