Parasizlar

An old man commits suicide by jumping before a running train. In the next 72 hours, six stories unfold one after another. Curiously interlinked, each story is born out of a chance encounter between two strangers leading to a high voltage drama with a strange twist at the end. The context varies drastically and so does the genre - from psychological thriller to intense drama to hilarious comedy, concerning some dominant issue of contemporary society and human life.

In an era of complete interconnectedness, the sum of the parts lead to a catastrophic whole. Location no longer matters, disaster can strike anywhere-and in November, it hits a luxury hotel in the pretty town of Heiligendeich. The participants, in combination, seem harmless at first glance. They are: Hagen Seibold, Eberhard and Gisela Mustermann, Kowalsky, his girlfriend Olga, and two priests. Only Nora Krüger is special-she's a TV star. But it won't benefit her over the course of the events that await her and the others. Because in the middle of the night, a motley crew arrives at the hotel for a late check-in. What follows is the fatal mixture of an unpredictable sum of parts. And because everything is connected to everything, no one can claim that they are not to blame for catastrophe.

Estado do Rio de Janeiro, 1963. O coreto da praça principal de Bacaxá explode no momento de abertura da gincana de primavera da pequena cidade. O alvo do atentando é Amélia Castanho, cantora de boate escolhida para a tarefa da efeméride anual. Segundos antes de o coreto ir pelos ares, ela escuta do rádio do automóvel uma bizarra transmissão: o locutor, em transe, revela o plano que pretendia vitimá-la pela explosão onde ela deveria estar mas não estava! Assim começa Reis e Ratos. A partir daí, a narrativa quebrada em flashbacks nos traz de volta até a explosão do coreto e seu desfecho. A trama e suas situações conduzem o espectador pela atmosfera conspiratória das vésperas do Golpe Militar de 1964. A narrativa suja e delirante de Reis e Ratos ocorre numa certa antessala do cenário golpista. A história é contada através dos pontos de vista de um grupo de personagens de alguma forma ligados à direita. Esse grupo de pessoas é parte de um plano pra tirar o presidente do governo sem que o uso do dispositivo militar, tanto golpista quando legalista, precise ser empreendido.
