This year's film festival's "Rumours" is shown out of competition and criticizes the G7 governments' political class. The proceedings are dominated by cynicism rather than a numb disgust with politics. The seven politicians' intended evening to discuss ways to prevent a world crisis swiftly devolves into a crazy and bizarre journey into the dark woods, where the group is easily lost. The G7 leaders gather in Dankerode, Germany, to discuss the matter.
