The film relates the story of three people who get to know each other at their jobs at a Mannheim eldercare facility, and along the way learn the meaning of love. Viewed from the outside, things seems to be going quite well for the protagonists, though privately their reasons for being reveal themselves in permanent inner struggles. The caregiver, 42-year old Holger (Tom Jahn) spends his life seemingly following an orderly path, but is fleeing his messy, disorderly relationships in Berlin. He moves to southern Germany, where in his new surroundings, he falls in love with 49-year old Barbara (Pola Kinski), who has been employed in the same nursing home as a kitchen hand for many years. Their affection for each other is strong, and they powerfully close ranks when head nurse Petra Opels (Isolde Fischer) begins to express her enthusiasm for Holger.
