The story of a few people in Vienna. Erwin, who wants to become an actor and has come from somewhere in the provinces with great ambitions. Karin, a waitress in a suburban espresso bar, who is almost destroyed by her love. Wolf, a writer who finds life difficult because he can't write. Claudia, a German woman, stuck in this neurotic city where everyone, incomprehensibly, makes life so difficult. Everyone is searching for another life, their own, the real life.
