When 50-year-old Georg loses his job as the long-standing classical music reviewer for a highbrow Viennese newspaper, he conceals the fact from his younger wife Johanna, who wants a child with him. Instead, he embarks upon a campaign of revenge against his former boss and begins to renovate a rollercoaster in the “Wurstelprater” amusement park along with an old school friend, Erich, who is also unemployed.
A tragicomic midlife meltdown, directed by the Austrian stage and screen comedian Josef Hader.
