Plot outline

The life of two school companions in the Federal Republic of Germany passes on in complete opposite ways: one is carried through all the political changes, the other has a political career and finally commits suicide. A satirical review through 30 years post-war Germany (1957-1987). An inside joke that takes up an abundance of subjects and also picks up disruptive occurrences in the political party references.
