Berlin is a construction site and Franz lives right in the middle of it: He is trying to keep his small publishing house going, but renovation work in his building runs right through his office – and to top it all, his business partner and girlfriend have both deserted him. However, fortune seems to be smiling on him when the friendly woman in a hard hat who passed him on the tram turns out to be his new neighbor.
