Karl von Kahn, whose motto in life is to accelerate uphill, is asked to fulfil the last wish of his best friend, who is dying. Karl does not hesitate: a contract is signed, a company is sold. Hours later, the friend is feeling much better. Then Kahn's phone rings again: this time he is asked to help finance a film of Othello. A story of deception and money, friendship and love, and of an older man who refuses to give up on money, sex and independence just because of his age.
