Synopsis
Spotted at the Marriott by government aides in search of a decent cappuccino, a British businessman nonentity is mistaken for the dreaded UN inspector. While he exploits the situation for all it’s worth, presidential panic ensues as ex-Soviet Ministers make farcical attempts to cover up the corruption that lies at the State’s core.

A brilliantly comic performance from the fabulously talented Michael Sheen… A grotesque comedy. Michael Sheen gives a scathingly brilliant and inventive performance… High farce combines with sharp satire on human corruption. Hilariously funny and chilling…
