Marie and Erich's circle of friends are bored. The women dream of getting married or having an acting career, while the men wish they could be earning lots of money — ideally without having to do anything to get it. The Munich suburb where they pass their lazy summer days on the streets or in the pub doesn't have much more to offer. The only things that help are complaining about each other and hopping into bed — preferably with someone who's not one's own partner and who's also willing to pay for the experience. When Greek guest worker Jorgos moves into the neighborhood, he becomes a welcome target onto which everyone unloads their boredom and frustration. (Filmfest München)
