Puppets! Pixels! Anime! Live action! Stock footage! Lumpennerd Johannes Grenzfurthner gives an ideotaining cinematic revue about important political concepts. Everyone is talking about freedom! Privacy! Identity! Resistance! The Market! The Left! But, yikes, Johannes can't tolerate ignorant and topically abusive comments on the "Internet" anymore! Supported by writer Ishan Raval, in this film, Johannes explains, re-evaluates, and sometimes sacrifices political golden calves of discourse. Not to be used with false consciousness or silicone-based lubricant.

Since 1920, "Jedermann," "The Play of the Rich Man's Death" by Hugo von Hofmannsthal, has been performed at the Salzburg Festival in front of the mighty Salzburg Cathedral. In 2013, Julian Crouch and Brian Mertes, as the directing team, took on the challenge of staging a new production. "We will begin ceremoniously with a procession from the Festspielhaus to the Cathedral Square, working with nature, the elements, the city, each other – but above all with the audience – to tell the story of 'Everyman,' his life's journey and transformation. His life must be rich, joyful, and overflowing – also for the audience. On the path to his conversion, he encounters a number of very powerful theatrical characters. We want – like a medieval theater troupe – to captivate our audience with spectacle and humor, to sweep them away, and invite them to follow Everyman's path and to understand it as their own – at least for the two-hour performance."
