Brief synopsis

After the suicide of his terminally ill father, Erik inherits his apartment in Gelsenkirchen. In a state of loneliness and confusion he decides to take in roommates: Carla and Nicoleta. Together they develop a critical theory of society, which gradually turns out to be a castle in the air, as does the supposed friendship between the three.
