Storyline

Life with its improbable coincidences confronts a delinquent Bohemian, Nick Gutlicht, with the ageing controversial star psychologist, Curt Ledig, whose Nazi connections are well known. Reluctantly Nick soon becomes the old man's object of study. In that way a life which is seemingly out of control becomes grounded, and a fading memory once again digs out the truth about a man's involvement with the Third Reich. A humorous and sometimes sensual double-trouble buddy movie with a subtle message.
