The duel of the audience favorites: the two multiple audience award winners Andreas Klaue and Ralf Stech in a wonderfully funny battle of words!
Mr. Goetz, branch manager of a bank, has everything he always wanted: a beautiful wife, a nice house, a healthy child and a good job. But when Anton Schmidt turns up at his office and applies for a loan, his secure existence is suddenly thrown into disarray.
It's all very simple: the applicant doesn't have the necessary collateral, so the application is rejected. The risk for the bank would be too great - and after all, the rules are the rules. But Anton just won't take no for an answer! And finally he issues an ultimatum: if he doesn't get his loan, he will be forced to seduce the branch manager's wife.
Mr. Goetz doesn't take the threat seriously at first. But when he tries to warn his wife, she gets angry. Is she really not worth more to him than a ridiculous loan of three thousand euros? Without further ado, she throws him out of the house. Mr. Goetz is devastated. But perhaps he could succeed in winning his wife back with Anton's recapture tricks? Surely it's just a question of money!
Money versus happiness: in his successful play "The Loan", Catalan author Jordi Galceran describes in refreshingly comic fashion how the balance of power is rearranged until the roles are completely reversed in the end. A turbulent exchange of blows for Andreas Klaue and Ralf Stech!
