The idealistic writer Petrik and the enterprising jack of all trades Mehlmann come together for a weekend in a dilapidated castle in Marchfeld. Their different points of view lead the two men, who are bound in a friendly antagonism, to become entangled in fundamental discussions about the status quo in Austria and the forces effective within it, which manifest themselves in the castle’s residents, above all, Erika Pluhar in her cinema debut as the young Baroness Julia.
