Based upon Heinrich Böll’s 1956 satire “Hauptstädtisches Journal”, MACHORKA-MUFF tells the story of Colonel Erich von Machorka-Muff, who is restored to service by the Minister of defence in Bonn and promoted to General. He marries his lover, named Inniga von Zaster-Pehnunz, and is finally in a position to materialise his favourite project: an academy of “military memories”.
