A largely plotless, fado-scored journey through the gloomy cobblestone streets, zombie bars, and fetid basements of a sordid harbor town populated by German-speaking sots and Portuguese guest workers. An unhappy young couple, Leni and Anton, quarrel and split separately into the rat’s ass of the evening. Everyone is looking for love, but no one finds any—although Leni does pick up a trick.

Ya se sabe que el amor no cae del cielo, sino que uno se lo encuentra en el regazo. Sobre todo cuando no se lo espera en absoluto. Y si antes alguien le hubiera dicho al repartidor de cerveza de Dormund, Hannes, que lo encontraría precisamente en la exótica soledad de Finlandia mientras un comisario de policía le pisaba los talones, lo más probable es que se hubiera limitado a sacudir la cabeza. Hannes, tímido experto en aprenderse horarios de trenes en sus ratos libres quiere ir a la nórdica localidad de Inari para participar en el Primer Concurso Internacional para expertos en guías ferroviarias. Para cumplir este sueño, ha pasado meses maquinando rutas de viaje y estudiándose horarios de memoria. Lo que Hannes no sabe cuando va al tren hacia el norte es que el Comisario Stefan y su ayudante Harry le creen el sospechoso número uno de un nuevo caso de asesinato...
Assistant Director
Movie-making cliches are parodied in this German comedy which features to warring actresses, meddling producers, indulgent directors, and an ignored writer. Not only must they contend with each other, they must also deal with the bankers who have the power to shut them down at any moment. The story begins at the premier of director Viktor Rote's newest film "The Tin Cat," which stars his popular wife Riki Rote. The film's writer and Viktor's brother Richard is miffed when he is not allowed into the screening. Viktor's ambitious mistress and aspiring star the Nina is also not invited in. The film is a hit so Rote is allowed to begin his new film by producer George Kuballa. George is also head of the studio. His rich and frequently rejected wife is Lore, a major financial studio backer who prefers spending her time consorting with her handsome young chauffeur.
