It’s infallible, reliable and state-of-the-art: the Glock pistol. The film recounts the rapid ascent of the Austrian handgun to become a worldwide bestseller and cult object. Following the tracks of the discreet Glock empire, the directors illuminate entanglements of power, money, violence and politics. Their investigative journey takes them to the USA, into the world of gangster rap with its Glock-riddled lyrics, to Iraq and into the supposedly intact world of the picturesque Wörthersee.
