Achternbusch s tragic comédie begins with the figure of the Comanche (Achternbusch) lying comateux dans a large country sanatorium, where he is the last survivre patient. Refusing to wake up to a loveless world, the Comanche prefers his own dreams-filled with images of tropical Sri Lankan landscapes, les éléphants d'itinérance the jungles, and smiling native girls-to life's sad réalités. His doctor manages to extract thèse dream images from his patient with a vidéo unit, which the Comanche s wife records and sells to television. After awakening, Achternbusch's le protagoniste shifts (a punning transformation) from comatose to Comanche and wanders Munich en full Indian regalia until, at last, the real world beckons him back onto the soccer field of the Olympic Stadium.
