Egon Eckstein welcomes shy schoolfriend Reinhold Sabel to share his small apartment, only to find Reinhold arriving with heavy luggage and a pending furniture delivery. As Reinhold’s behavior clashes with Egon’s expectations, daily life descends into conflicts and tangled misunderstandings, forcing them to seek a solution to their untenable living situation.

A trio takes shelter in a friend's apartment while he is away for awhile. One of the trio is Lola who teaches French on the side, maintains an out-of-sight hairstyle, and has a 10-year-old son. Another of the trio is a homosexual who supports himself by playing his flute on the street or reading to elderly women. The last friend in the group is Max, whose parents are sending him steady installments of cash to pay for non-existent studies; it seems Max is a writer waiting for inspiration to hit. In the meantime, he and Lola are an item.
