Georg feels confident and at ease in his position as a member of a Viennese newspaper's editorial staff. He is both loved and feared as befits an established music critic who wields a sharp pen. But then he is suddenly made redundant. A cost-cutting measure, he is told before being shown the door. But instead of telling his young wife Johanna, whose thoughts currently revolve around her desire for children and her next ovulation, Georg is out for revenge. He finds an ally in giving vent to his anger at his ex-boss in the shape of an old school friend, Erich. What begins with minor property damage soon turns into a campaign of all out terror. At the same time, Georg and Erich have a go at trying to revive a dilapidated rollercoaster in Vienna's Prater amusement park the legendary 'wild mouse'. (Berlinale)
