Maximaler Gewinn

Behind the concrete facade of a gloomy prefabricated building, the finely tuned routine of a couple is shaken to its core as a result of a change in the weather and a sudden gust of wind. When the link in their intimate partnership, which has grown over the years, suddenly erodes due to this ominous chain of events, it leads the protagonists to the abyss of an existential crisis that stagnates into a state of utter helplessness. Fleeing reality into the depths of nostalgic reminiscence, a flashing television screen finally reveals `HAARPUNE´ - an alchemical miracle of the consumer world, manifested as the promise of hirsute rejuvenation incarnate, which awakens unforeseen expectations. Obsessed with the possibility of restoring former habitual conditions, excessive impatience leads to a secretly administered overdose of the miracle drug, transforming the much longed-for reunion into a grotesque, surreal nightmare.
