After a bank robbery in the heart of Vienna, the cunning small-time crook Chester takes refuge with the childlike, naive stamp dealer Herbert. A very bad choice, as Herbert destroys all of his prey due to his clumsiness. Chester, with underworld capo Otto breathing down his neck, is devastated. Then he finds out that Herbert's only relative, Aunt Hertha, has taken out generous life insurance for her nephew and sees his money worries solved. The way there: an adventurous plan.
Reviews
best movie i've ever seen.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
