Magdalena's dark drama spans a period of six weeks. In Berghofen, a village near Dachau, live the honorable, respected small farmers Thomas Mayr, known as Paulimann, and his wife Mariann. They have been married for 37 years ("Und hat mi'koan Tag net g'reut"), but now the woman is wasting away. This is not least due to their daughter Magdalena, who moved to the big city to work as a seamstress, where she went astray and got into trouble with the law. She is now brought home in disgrace, to the jeers of the villagers. Nevertheless, on his deathbed, he promises his wife that he will not chase Leni out of the house.

Thibaut Fismard from Munich has a hard time. His mother had married a Belgian engineer during the war, who disappeared immediately after the war. His mother raised her young son alone. Even at school and with neighbors, and later when looking for an apprenticeship, the fact that he was not German in the sense of the paragraphs stuck to him like a stigma. The opportunities open to his peers are closed to him, "the Belgian". The people of Munich dub his strange name "Tibo". When Tibo is suspected of stealing a moped and ends up in front of the juvenile court, the course is set for him to slip away. Tibo does not receive a work permit and certainly not German citizenship. But suddenly new paths open up for Tibo...
