Victor is still young and grew up with his stepmother Ludmilla and stepsister Hanna, where he experienced a lot of affection. Before he starts his first job, he is supposed to visit his uncle, the brother of his long-dead father. Full of hope, Victor sets out to find out about his family history, but encounters a bitter old man who has closed himself off from love and affection all his life. He is a true hag, that is, an old bachelor. The Oheim holds Victor for longer than he would like. But he has a life message for him ...
Two generations discuss the existential questions of life. Philipp Hochmair brings the text from the Biedermeier era into the present day. Accompanied by electro-jazz from the band "Die Elektrohand Gottes", he reinterprets it without exploding it performatively.
