World Premiere
A man sits alone in his car, screaming in a fit of futile anger and despair. Everything in his life seems to be collapsing. A successful real estate agent and previously a happy family man, he can‘t grasp what is going on with him and the world. Because he is not able to talk about his problems, he begins to turn away from his family, friends and work colleagues. Half psychodrama, half dark political satire, this film treats the question of what happens when a former winner begins to lose.
