Der Mann, dem man den Namen stahl
During his trip to the city, a naïve man from the countryside falls victim to a thief who steals his wallet.

Soon enough, a warrant is issued, and eventually both men – the thief and the innocent guy – are arrested. But since all the red tape of the government causes even more confusion, the odyssey of the victim searching for his lost identity has just started,
