Zero

Honey manufacturer N. lives from and for the exploitation of the earth. After N. comes into contact with real honey in a work accident, he decides to renounce artificial honey and become a beekeeper. But because of the harmful effects of modern technology on his bees, he resorts to drastic measures. After this awakening, the capitalist becomes an eco-terrorist. With Udo Kier in a main role! His fight against multinational corporations takes him all the way to Africa, where hamburgers and cola in a shabby fast food joint will save him from starvation. The system he fights in Europe saves his life in Africa. A paradox. A dilemma. "Gyula Nemes, the enfant terrible of Hungarian film, won over Udo Kier for the role of an unscrupulous industrial magnate. Zero is a wacky mixture of satire, genre parody and political message. "An intellectually pleasing and incredibly funny film." (kviff.com)
