Berlin, 1930, during the rise of Nazism. Hermann Hermann, a Russian emigrant and chocolate manufacturer, married to the capricious Lydia, loses his temper more and more every day when dealing with his workers and other businessmen; until he meets Felix, a vagrant, who seems to be physically identical to him; a disconcerting fact that leads Hermann Hermann to plot a particular way out of a fake world he actually hates.

Three bums get played by the devil.

Monique finances her medical studies as a go-go dancer in a Munich nightclub. Her relatives, who are involved in local politics, want the club, which they consider immoral, closed down, but during an inspection tour they take a liking to the establishment themselves, taking indecent photos on behalf of the club owner. This leads to an intriguing story full of lies and blackmail, from which everyone involved tries to get out without losing face.

The film tells the story of Verena Stadler, a young woman who lives in a small Swiss village. Her mother, Katharina Waser-Stadler, is a strong and independent woman who supports Verena in her development. Verena falls in love with Wilhelm Waser, a man from her community, which leads to conflicts and challenges that they must overcome together.

At the heart of the film is the partner selection institute Duogena, which—very progressive for its time—not only works with computers but also uses video technology: as a visual calling card, a video portrait is recorded of each client in the Duogena studio. The task of 40-year-old bachelor Felix Stamm as a Duogena employee is to grapple with the catalogued heart's desires and to coach clients so that they present their quirks and idiosyncrasies, their concerns and wishes to the camera in as positive a light as possible.

Satire on 19th-century class relations and thinly veiled commentary on the failure of the 1968 political revolution.
