The story tells of a successful entrepreneur who, at the age of 47, develops Parkinson's disease and, for years, supports his massage therapist with considerable financial support, even though he doesn't really want to. Only later does it become apparent that he is suffering from neurological side effects of Parkinson's medication: 2.9 million Swiss francs are gone.
