Eine Handvoll Staub (1988)
Dem durch und durch englischen Upperclass-Gentleman Tony Last, letztem Erbe von Hetton Manor, rinnt sein Leben buchstäblich durch die Finger. Nicht genug, dass seine Ehefrau Brenda ihn mit dem jungen Lebemann Beaver betrügt. Dieser listige Niemand bringt ihn auch noch fast um sein Vermögen! Eine gescheiterte Ehe, der auch noch sein einziger Sohn und Erbe zum Opfer fällt, erschüttern das Weltbild des erfolgsverwöhnten und versnobten Briten zutiefst. Er flüchtet sich in das Kartenspiel und findet in der überaus unpassenden Mrs. Rattery immerhin eine amüsante Gesellschafterin. Nach der Scheidung hält ihn nichts mehr in England. Den gesellschaftlichen Ränkespielen dort dreht er angewidert den Rücken zu, ohne sich jedoch davon befreien zu können. Auf einer Amazonas-Expedition trifft er schließlich auf den überaus exzentrischen Todd. Inmitten des Tropischen Regenwaldes lassen die beiden das englische Oberschichtenregime wieder aufleben und steuern mitten in die Katastrophe.
