Summary of the movie

The film tells a story based on a true story about the "Miracle of Wörgl" in Tyrol in 1932. As National Socialism takes hold, Wörgl is on the brink of bankruptcy. Mayor Michael Unterguggenberger (Karl Markovics) succeeds in leading the municipality to prosperity by introducing a so-called "shrinkage money" that is guaranteed to circulate and pushes unemployment towards zero.
