Plot introduction
“Old White Man” examines the generational and cultural divide in today’s society through the lens of Heinz Hellmich, a middle-aged family man on the verge of losing his job after a series of communication blunders at work. Desperate to prove he’s not just an “old white man,” he invites his boss and guests to a dinner party, aiming to present his family as modern and “woke.” However, chaos ensues as old grievances resurface, unexpected guests arrive, and the conversation spirals through today’s most sensitive issues.
