Sebastian Hotz's second novel is a masterful play on the cultural conflicts of our time, telling a fast-paced story about generational shifts in show business.
After decades of TV history, legendary showmaster Falk Anders announces his retirement. His long-time sidekick, Boris, firmly believes he is the natural successor. However, their boss Marianne has other plans, favoring an influencer to reach a younger demographic. When Falk decides he isn't ready to quit after all, a shocked - and drunk - Boris takes matters into his own hands: he shoves Falk into the trunk of his car and drives off.
A dramatic and absurd chamber drama unfolds on the German autobahn orchestrated by Marianne who exploits the situation and spurs on both men to sell the kidnapping as a planned mockumentary.
