Vienna, 2021. Europe is divided in American sectors, Johnny Bush (the son of George Bush) is federal councillor in Austria. The German journalist August Maria Kaiser (August Diehl) comes to Vienna to do a feature on the missing Haider.

This low-budget and subversive satire is a reframing of the 1952 film 1 April 2000, made during the Allied Occupation of Austria following WWII. Recontextualized to modern times, it is a playful criticism of the conservative Austrian politician Jörg Haider and of the US’s relationship with Iraq.
