Greece 2015
Six Greek middle aged men are enjoying themselves on a luxury yacht. To kill time, one of them proposes to elect ‘essentially the best’ among them and to honour the chosen one with a chevalier ring. Body parts are compared and measured, followed by disciplines such as window cleaning, silver polishing or preparing sea urchin salad. With much irony old concepts and rituals of manhood are chased ad absurdum. «In this impoverished ring, which finally no one receives, faith is cast upon a time in which both were still strong together, the Greek and the masculine. This perhaps is the greatest joke.» (Die Zeit)
