An aging postal worker who, fed up with the war, decides to write to his old school chum Hermann Goering; however, his letter is intercepted by the latter’s underlings and the man soon finds himself a political prisoner! Eventually, Goering (never actually seen) gets wind of his friend’s situation and orders a medical examination where he’s to be declared insane and thus not qualified for the death sentence – the trouble is that, with the war over, he can’t get his old job back because of this “condition”!!  So begins his 15-year odyssey to contact the people who could attest to his normal mental health – however, they’re either dead, behind bars or unwilling (a Nazi doctor, involved in the sterilization of patients and who was against the diagnosis, suffered the consequences for defying Goering’s instructions).  
 
Während des Zweiten Weltkrieges schreibt der einfache Briefträger Ludwig Fuchs an seinen ehemaligen Schulfreund Hermann Göring und bittet diesen, sich für ein Ende des Krieges einzusetzen. Auf höchsten Befehl hin wird Fuchs für verrückt und damit straffrei erklärt. Nach Ende des Krieges muss Fuchs aber noch viele Unannehmlichkeiten durchstehen, um wieder als normal angesehen zu werden.
