Shot for Austrian television in 1979, this short film follows Tom Waits through a single day, opening at a derelict gas station where a peeling German-language sign warns against smoking near open flames just as Waits strolls in with a lit cigarette. From there the film settles into his low-key performance style of the era: songs delivered in that gravel voice alongside rambling barroom stories and asides, shot with the loose, intimate camera work typical of European music television of the period. There's little in the way of plot beyond following Waits from location to location as he plays and talks, but the appeal is watching an artist still early in his career work a small, informal stage. It's a document of a specific moment, a young American singer-songwriter turned loose in Vienna with a camera crew and no clear agenda beyond capturing what he does.
