Edmund Schönenberger is a Swiss lawyer who fought for the freedom of thought and human rights in Switzerland. He represented clients during the "Opernhaus-riots" in Zurich as well as the members of the R.A.F. (the Baader-Meinhof group). He is a co-founder of the biggest law firm in Switzerland which works pro bono. Through his work he analyses the Western society and decides to move to Kneževac, the most rural part of Serbia in order to start a new life there. In a very charming way he tells us his life story and expresses his views about democracy, the state and its system and we see how he tries to apply his Western-world experiences in the village. The clash of mentalities leads to philosophical and very funny situations and shows us a new perspective of the state, globalization and life itself.
