September 1972: while Palestinians of Black September attack the Olympic village in Munich, mysterious things happen in North Africa. Four people are murdered in a hippie commune, a suitcase full of money disappears, and a dim-witted police inspector tries to solve the case. Together with a confused nuclear spy and an attractive American woman, they are drawn into an absurd game of chance, wrong turns and misunderstandings. At the centre of it all is a man without a memory, caught between all sides, who tries to solve the riddle of his own existence. An adventure story about the terrors of the desert, with dark humour.
