Kings should be treated courteously! At least, that's what famous music critic Georg thinks. But he finds himself counting pennies when his chief editor suddenly fires him from the Viennese newspaper for which he has been writing for decades. While keeping his dismissal a secret from his psychotherapist wife Johanna, whose mind is occupied solely by getting pregnant, Georg begins to plot his revenge.

A darkly funny, yet poignant, look at a man adrift. It's a slow descent into absurdity and unexpected connection, wrapped in a European arthouse sensibility. Feels like a quiet, contemplative character study with a sharp, cynical edge.
