HAPPY HOUR

by Franz Müller

synopsis

Hans-Christian has a nickname of sorts — “HC” — but not much else. His wife has left him, taking any last vestiges of meaning in his life. Being a clever woman though, she didn’t take his friends Nic and Wolfgang. In a gesture of romantic and not very well thought through spontaneitiy, it is these two who decide to save HC from despair by whisking him off for a “back to the roots” holiday in Ireland. The three men seek inspiration, raw nature, contact with their deeper inner selves, and the bonds of true friendship. As it turns out, being stuck in a remote cottage with too much whiskey and too few girls isn’t necessarily the ideal recipe for any of the above…
