"The General Manager or How to Sell a Tit Wonder" shows the spectacular portrait of overstretched erotic manager Martin Baldauf. The former agent of top celebrity Lolo Ferrari on his rocky way to gutter or cult. This action documentary about the rise and fall of the boulevard business offer a deep look behind the scenes of tit wonders and yellow press content. After the sudden death of world famous Lolo Ferrari the "general manager" is busy at work to push new English model Ashley Bond into the world of "B" or "C"-celebrities. A high-speed movie full of coruscating humour and absurd situations - from a promotion date on a motorway service area with German pop singer Jürgen Drews to measuring tits with a dog lead at the lawyer.
