Punch Drunk and totally dazed, the film goes from one catastrophe to the next, constantly changing its form and genre making the viewer feel like he's been slapped in the face. Achternbusch plays Dr. Riesenhuber, the highest ranking civil servant in the Bavarian Ministry of Culture, who, despite worldwide nuclear radiation, can think of nothing else than how to advance his own career and become the Minister of Culture. www.filmportal.de
