In the organizer's words:

A comedy by Siegfried Lenz

Bruno Deutz is a bourgeois, a reasonably successful hairdresser, trapped in an unhappy marriage with his wife Hanna - so far, so normal. His appearance, however, is anything but normal, as he looks exactly like the president of the fictitious totalitarian dictatorship in which we find ourselves. And Bruno is vulnerable to blackmail, because in his youth he was part of an opposition group that put up posters critical of the regime. His friend and leader at the time, Josef, was caught and arrested.

The story begins when Josef is released as part of a general amnesty and Hanna's old love for him is rekindled. The president also hires Bruno as his double to represent him at a parade where an assassination attempt on the president is planned. When Bruno then unexpectedly has to not only play the president in a representative capacity, but actually impersonate him with all the consequences, he does so in a surprising way.
