在这部施姆茨剧情片中,Joseph Schmutz (Fritz Schediwy) is an undeniably remarkable man whose life is about to change rather dramatically as a result of his new false sense of ‘self-worth’ after being hired to work at a monstrously sized abandoned paper factory as a meager security guard. As his seemingly megalomaniac of a boss (Hans-Michael Rehberg) tells him in a sinister fashion regarding his patrolling job, “Keep in mind, whatever the person in front of you is doing, whether he’s a trespasser or stray, child or criminal, he is in the wrong. He should not be where he is if you are standing opposite him. What do the peoples of the world call an invader into their territories?...Enemy.” A creepy kiss ass of the miserable middle-aged sort, Schmutz does not only go on the defensive against trespassers, but also his fellow security guard comrades as a traitor of the worst kind.
Josef Schmutz is a custodian clerk given the task of guarding an outdated industrial plant.
