Manuel Rubey & Simon Schwarz - The Restaurant

Manuel Rubey and Simon Schwarz have a combined total of four left hands. At least. Nevertheless, the two friends think it's a brilliant idea to open a restaurant. Simon has played a chef in a movie before, and Manuel enjoys drinking wine. That should be enough in terms of expertise, they believe. The upscale restaurant in the middle of the countryside is supposed to overshadow everything that has come before. However, under scrutiny, it appears more like a candidate for "shoddy construction." When the restaurant then burns down, it strongly smells of arson. At least for the village policewoman, who uses the investigation with the movie stars to launch her podcast. The search for the firestarter leads Manuel Rubey and Simon Schwarz back into the past, deep into their innermost selves, and to essential questions such as: Aren't we all somehow little arsonists? In our friendships? In our jobs? In our relationships? For the policewoman, the case is clear anyway: It was Rubey, he set the place ablaze. Because while the murderers might always be the gardeners, the arsonists are always the Viennese. ** We have decided not to gender the saying.
