This is the 20th film in the Stuttgart Fantasy Film Festival.
An old man visits a bar for a drink in the evening. While there he checks his
Lotto ticket, and he's won 294 million Euros in the Euro Jackpot. He shouldn't
have talked so loud. The people in the restaurant (including the owners, a
petty criminal and two off-duty policeman) are excited, and within minutes they begin
to kill one another. The old man is the first to die. Not even the policemen
can be trusted. Money is more important than human life.
Some events are repeated a few times with variations. The purpose is to show
what various individuals intend to tell the police when the dead bodies are
found. This means some of the scenes are false narratives. In my opinion, it doesn't
work well.
The original French title of the film is "Le Roi Soleil", i.e. "The Sun King",
which is the name of the bar.
