Otto Sauer, SPÖ-Minister, ist zum Rücktritt gedrängt worden. Ein Opfer muss gebracht werden, um dem Ansehen der Partei nicht noch mehr zu schaden. In der bekannten Wiener Nobelbar »Eden« schüttet Sauer sein Herz aus und klagt über die Ungerechtigkeit der Welt.
Minister Otto Sauer has just resigned. As usual, he walks over to the Eden Bar to muse about the rise and the fall of the mighty. This time, however, the evening takes a different course. He himself gives an account of the symbiosis of power and corruption while still defending it. In his opinion he has been made the scapegoat of the party.
The overthrown minister is a fictional figure, yet so easy to recognize.
