The Mad Austrian

The Mad Austrian tells the story of 66-year-old extreme ironer Heinz Wieser, a man who lets nothing get in the way of being a bit silly. From doing his ironing on the summit of Mt. Ruapehu to dressing up as Osama Bin Laden and skiing across a pond, nothing out of the ordinary for this kind soul. In the words of Heinz himself: "Only dead fish swim with the current."
