Willi Wohlrab is a primary school teacher. He had the dream of opening up a traditional Austrian “eatery”, as it fits well to his winery. He did it. But his dream wouldn’t last that long. Just a few weeks after opening it, the flood destroyed it and made Willi’s work down. But as people with visions do, against the opinion of the people surrounding him, he opened it up again. And the flood came another time, just five days after reopening and even higher than the last time. You think that’s enough to demotivate a dreamA? Go and visit Willi, as he has opened his eatery a third time and doesn’t even think about giving up.
