Just before the Berlin Wall is built – friends Kalle and Paul work as drivers at an East Berlin wholesale market. Kalle moonlights as a waiter in a West Berlin bar. Together they smuggle Christine, who is fleeing East Germany, into the city’s American sector, where Kalle arranges a place for her to stay above the bar. She quickly finds a job as a stenographer and their marriage seems to complete the happiness of the two. Kalle dreams of taking over the bar. But he doesn’t have enough savings to buy out his boss. When a nouveau riche carpetbagger threatens to cut him out, Christine does something stupid. (Berlinale)
