Set in Vienna in the early part of the twentieth century, Zipper
and His Father is a compelling and wonderfully atmospheric
portrayal of a childhood friend, Arnold Zipper, and his father, as
seen through the eyes of a young boy. The Zipper family welcome the
arrival of their son's friend and the boy is fascinated by their
cosy suburban life. Zipper Senior, a violin-maker and travelling
salesman, is determined that the boys will attain the success that
was denied to him. However, as the two friends mature their lives
take different paths - the army, university, early career choices
and a disastrous marriage to an aspiring actress all take their
toll - and each has a very different story to tell. From the
outskirts of Vienna to the Hollywood Hills, Zipper and His Father
charts the ambitions of a whole generation who, during period of
erratic social change, found themselves dreaming of what might have
been.
