Mit feiner Ironie und großer Geistesschärfe analysiert er die Geschichte der Dummheit - bis in Musils Gegenwart, also kurz vor dem sogenannten "Anschluss" Österreichs ans Deutsche Reich.

An aging Buenos Aires judge retires to the family ranch in the Pampas to battle feral rabbits and reclaim the dignity of the gaucho life.
