The lonely employment office worker Ute meets the easy-going and jobless guy Jens in a cuddle group.

In a small town in 1970s West Germany, Stephanie is raised by two parents who have no business having children. The mother suffers from an unspecified medical condition—one both mental and physical. The father makes it clear that he has no patience for his daughter. Young Stephanie takes solace in exploring the mysteries hidden away in the increasingly untidy house, particularly the trunk full of her grandfather’s butcher’s equipment; older Stephanie takes far more sinister comfort in the tools found therein.

Something weird is happening... something will come in...

Young single mother Leyla is financially strained with her two daughters. As a team they try to defy the attached adversities in especially creative ways. Over time, they have developed elaborate tricks in order to participate in social life. While performing their trick at the wrong ice cream parlor, their enjoyment takes an unexpected turn. The survival artists are forced to improvise in order to not get caught.
