Amon Maynard is a charming billionaire with impeccable manners. He has never had to ask to be above the law. He’s just above it. If you follow the trail of money, you will quickly come across a small group of super-rich whose global operations and alliances are far more powerful than our democracy; whose influence extends far beyond the realm of nation-states. In fact, our states have become customers of their banks and corporations. This film satire is about winners and losers, capitalism and values, aspirations and limits; it follows the style of Austrian directorial geniuses Michael Haneke and Ulrich Seidl and explores the social consequences of unbridled power and wealth.

Screening of the film with the participation of director Daniel Hoesl.
