Brief synopsis

Mr Wagner is a craftsman. For more than forty years, he has been paid to kill people. And for more than forty years, he has done the job perfectly, with an ambiguous but genuine work ethic that he claims is necessary. When he meets Max, 25 and unemployed, Wagner thinks he has found his successor. He strives to teach him his skills and sense of ethics...
