Synopsis

After his top hats family business went bankrupt, Hanno Giessen (Ulrich Schamoni), now a former industrialist, lives the life of a privateer in his little villa in Berlin. In order to record his uneventful life for posterity, he hires a film crew. Giessen makes leisure his principle of life and indulges in the art of idleness, cultivating his passion for collecting useless stuff (enamel signs, advertising images and porcelain rabbits of all origins) and wasting his time with a (mostly naked) young girl, Anna (Anna Henkel), a runaway with no plans for the future.
