Slumming 2006
< back
The binge drinker and poet Franz Kallmann wakes up one morning to find himself in an unfamiliar world. He doesn’t understand the people around him, nobody knows him, and right in front of his nose the train station seems to have shrunk. Sebastian and Alex, one an independently wealthy young man, the other a perpetual student, are responsible, having abducted the unfortunate drunkard from one train station to a different one, from one country to another, but soon they too will find themselves struggling to understand each other and the world around them. A senseless prank has daunting consequences.
