The film is part of Lemkes never-ending Munich series, but this time it leads beyond Schwabing or Maxvorstadt, which makes it more entertaining than its predecessors. After a stop at the Bayrischer Hof, it moves into the Glockenbachviertel, over the Reichenbachbrücke to the Isar, further into the suburbs. These places are not alien to residents of Munich or tourists, but Lemke knows no tour guide romance. He has the usual group of main characters, two or three girls, a young man, and sends them off as if on a great expedition. They bring along the Lemkestyle, which doesn't fit in anywhere, but works like a contrast medium. Their fantasy figures make the reality around them more real.

A failed art forger keeps his head above water through contacts with rich women, and he is particularly close friends with an old widow. However, when he becomes acquainted with her children, the artist finds himself in a precarious situation: his son dies after falling into the Spree, while his sister proves to be an unpredictable and aggressive contemporary.
