A film about two comedians: Maung Thura, better known as Zarganar, is Burma's most famous comedian. Persecuted by the Burmese military regime, arrested, and sentenced to 59 years in prison on absurd charges, he is currently serving his sentence. Michael Mittermeier, on the other hand, is free to practice his art and, with his special humor and provocations, is one of Germany's greatest comedians.
