Leading East German director Andreas Dresen has cited the influence of Mike Leigh in this charming and keenly observed character drama. Radio host Chris and his second wife Katrin don´t have much to say to each other anymore, in or out of bed. Uwe, his friend, slaves away day and night in his own hot-dog stall, but forgets his wife and kids. Ellen and Chris are drawn together but are caught in the act and everyone is shaken out of their stupor. Featuring cameos and soundtrack by cult German band 17 Hippies.
