A cashier in a bank in a small German town is alerted to the power of money by the visit of a rich Italian lady. He embezzles 60,000 Marks and leaves for the capital city, where he attempts to find satisfaction in politics, sport, love and religion.

VIBE

A dizzying, visually arresting plunge into urban excess. It feels like a fever dream of desire and disillusionment, a frantic chase through a world of stark contrasts and overwhelming stimuli. Pure, unadulterated cinematic chaos.
