For fans of history, this glimpse of Munich society in the 1920s will be a much-treasured event. The story revolves around an art-gallery manager who puts on a show featuring the scandalous works of a woman artist who committed suicide. He is unjustly accused of having committed adultery with her, and for some reason the authorities decide to make an example of him. He is imprisoned at about the same time that Hitler and the nascent Nazi party attempt the infamous Beer Hall Putsch, and the gallery manager's girlfriend and a Swiss writer valiantly (and unsuccessfully) attempt to get better justice for him. Nobody in authority, it seems, has the courage to take up the challenge of righting this particular injustice.

Rico Moreno is trying to break the world record for continuous television in order to finance an illegal private broadcasting project on the high seas. His friend Banana helps him to endure 240 hours non-stop in front of the screen. He provides him with sandwiches, coffee, whisky, cigarettes, ice packs and movies that promise a little variety. But at the end of his record attempt, Rico only reacts to the 625 lines on the TV screen. His perception of the world around him has been extinguished, he is unresponsive and no longer communicates anything. The record succeeds, but where is Rico? He has flown away into another world, from where Banana and his girlfriend Bigi finally try to bring him back to life via the screen.

This bizarre comedy demonstrates - as a convincing example - how TV-commercials may be produced, sacrificing extensive amounts of money, bottomless creativity and even human life without any respect right to the finish.
