Synopsis:
There were once two brothers from a very rich family, the unscrupulous Edgar and the sensitive Manfred, who is rejected by the parents for being a loser. They place all their hopes in Edgar, who, however, usurps the their fortune, and, finally, throws them out of the villa and enjoys a successful political career. Manfred joins the “snail,” the reject. At a “liberal ball” the sexes intermingle and the identities are temporarily dissolved. In the merciless struggle for power, Arthur and Maria kill their son Edgar and his girlfriend. The retuning Manfred takes deadly revenge on his parents – the “snails” are victorious.
