The Ballad from Wednesday to Thursday poster
NR

During the course of a single night, various people cross paths in the pubs, bars, and hookah lounges of Cologne. The issues that all of Germany is talking about are put on the table: the patriarchy, the Middle East conflict, rising rents, and whether Jesus would still buy everyone drinks today. Political convictions are stiffened by alcohol, and old wounds are reopened.

Leonardo, whose real name is Michael, wants new white teeth—because everyone has them now. Only unsuccessful people still have yellow ones. So he needs 150 euros, which he doesn’t have, since he’s got more credit record entries than cash. On the streets, the law of the strongest applies—if you don’t have something, you take it, and Leonardo takes it. But the watch he steals turns out to be a fake, and he decides to simply return it to its owner. Luck, however, arrives a little later…
