He finds post-Communist Berlin an unfamiliar and baffling landscape where everything starts to go wrong. His property is occupied by malevolent squatters, and it will cost him a fortune to repossess it. He is becoming increasingly estranged from his wife, who balks at resettling in Germany. Convinced that her distaste for Berlin is really a rejection of Eduard himself, the neurotic hero launches a series of desperate stunts to win her back and make a new home for himself.
A mixture of Kafkaesque absurdity and domestic drama, Eduard's Homecoming offers a witty look at the problems of all kinds of reunification in the new Berlin.
