When small-time crook Nick Gutlich needs a hide-out, a stroke of luck lands him the job of chaperoning Curt Ledig, a renowned elderly psychologist left alone in a remote villa by his holidaying family. Soon Gutlich is secretly selling Ledig’s antiquarian books while Ledig is covertly analysing Gutlich’s head. The changing dynamics of this ‘mutually beneficial’ arrangement make for an unpredictable and charmingly erratic comedy with two irresistible protagonists.
