The hero of this dark comedy is Herr M., a sly, ruthless banker who sells bad loans to his clients. When he loses all his property due to an accident and the subsequent medical treatment, he suddenly finds himself on the street, homeless. But even then, he continues to pursue his principles of free-market economics and founds a university to teach his fellow homeless people teambuidling and coaching. In this production, director Michal Hába dissects our society and reveals the inhumane capitalist principles underneath.
