What is this movie even about?

Warning: Spoilers
I have no issue with the dubbing. But I have a major issue with the plot. There's no clear story line, just a whole lot of disjointed mini-tales that amount to nothing. I had no idea what was relevant and what wasn't. The estranged wife is running for mayor? A billionaire is buying an old manor home? The billionaire supports the right-wing mayoral candidate but doesn't want to be seen with her? The daughter is sleeping with her professor? The professor has writer's block? A student is secretly taping her classes? The protagonist has an unfulfilled romance? He wrongly thought his daughter was molested as a child? He has insomnia? Who cares? None of these sub-plots furthered the main plot in any way. After about 20 minutes in I was in the 'who cares' and 'where the f is this going' lane. All this to find out a girl was beaten by a weird old dude but she's fine now. That's the big climax?

No surprise but there was zero character development. Creeps were creeps from the beginning. Sulky teens were sulky throughout. Everyone was sullen and morose and

The only reason for any stars is the town's locale is stunning. Seaside at the foot of the alps.
