Claus Wilbrandt

Wolfgang (13) lives on the street. One night, by chance, he finds the head of a statue for which a large reward is being offered. To collect the reward, he goes to the specified address - a beautiful, old house on the outskirts of the city - and meets with an elderly woman. Because of the unexpected beauty and tranquillity of his surroundings, Wolfgang keeps quiet about the statue head, and stays. But things soon start to change, because the old woman, although mute and tied to a wheelchair as a result of a stroke, suddenly begins to behave strangely, she wants something from him ...

The family of a Greek man living in Berlin, who runs a tailor shop, is desperate to secure as much money as possible to ensure he can return home. His obsession with this goal threatens to overshadow the good qualities of his character.
