A story about a guy who has been unemployed for a long time, and who has lost his track of time. He lives in his own little world, with only few friends. He lives in a small town, and the film should be about a small-town community. During its preparation the director was looking for places in Berlin where Berlin looked like a small town. The Wall came down during that fall and there was a complete change of atmosphere in the city. It became part of the film itself.
