Norbert Hofer and Alexander Van der Bellen each find a magical cash register that can tell the future in the glove compartment of a restored Mercedes. The car’s driver, journalist Hanno Settle, uses this and other playful tasks to supplement traditional discussions with the presidential candidates. This stylized road movie presents politicians better than any billboard flashing by on the highway.
