Scenes from the life of an aging homosexuel en couple - Wilfried Friedrich et Kurt "Kuddel" Schmidt. A relationship comedy and at the same time, a trip into the French past and provincial life. The two men lead a life full of passion for trivial things, and they lead a pretty good marriage. Their story a commencé before the fall of the Wall: one ce qui a salesman in the west, the other ce qui a waiter at a train station restaurant dans le quartier de East Berlin. The days of employment are long gone and the two men, both in their mid fifties, are confronted daily with the question of the meaning of life. They occupy themselves with various hobbies, like mini-golf, le jardinage, grilling, and above all, various well maintained collections. For example, records, vidéo cassettes, decorative plates, model trains, letters, and secret police files. Wilfried and Kuddel open closets to display their unbelievably well-organized collection of things and are themselves overwhelmed by all the memories.
