Hail Caesar, those who are about to die salute you: Olga Flor's contemporary morituri include the dropout Maximilian, his daughter Ruth, the neighbour Jackie and her husband Alfons, the mayor and a writer of commercial copy. In this tour through the lowlands of Austria's political landscape, almost everything can be put to profitable use: outfits, language, truth and the bodies of asylum seekers. Maximilian becomes part of a rejuvenation experiment at a private clinic built under a bog through a fraudulent web of companies, banks and parties. Everyone who has bribed, cheated and colluded is invited to its pompous opening by a young, media-savvy president.
