Synopsis

For years, László Carassin has been unsuccessful. He has never earned money with his poems, but then he is awarded the Sparkassen Art Prize. When the award ceremony in Wolfsburg Ritz-Carlton becomes a farce, László decides to hang his old life on the nail on the same evening and start anew with the 7,500 Euro prize money in a big way. What follows is a never-ending journey, a search for identities and life designs that have only one thing in common: their reliable failure. László tries himself as a capitalist on the Bulgarian Riviera, as an early retirement at Balaton, as a great artist in Nicosia and as an unconditional lover in Odessa. After all, the prize money is used up, all plans are in rubble and ashes. With László Carassin, Michel Decar gives us one of the most captivating literary figures since Holden Caulfield. Finally, someone suffers, loves, lungers and lust-walks again until the bittersweet end - and with an unconditional faith in life. "Well, Amalfi is not this, said Uncle Bernát, maybe not Antibes. And if it does! Who needs Antibes? Does the tap water taste better? Do the stars shine brighter in Antibes? Probably hardly!"
