Hans-Christian has a nickname of sorts - HC. But not much else. His wife has left him, taking his pride and any last vestiges of meaning to his life. Being a clever woman, though, she didn't take his friends Nick and Wolfgang. In a gesture of romantic and not-very-well-thought-through spontaneity, it is these two who decideto save HC from despair by whisking him off for a holiday in Ireland. The three men seek inspiration, raw nature, contact to their deeper inner selves, wild and free, and the bonds of true friendship. As it turns out, being stuck in a remote cottage with too much Guinness and too few girls isn't necessarily the ideal recipe for the latter...
It's Twilight of the Gods. But with more drizzle. And less gods.
Three Germans. Two mid-life crises. But only one Ireland.
