They live together in an old apartment building: The childless bricklayer's wife Jette John, who buys someone else's baby and passes it off as her own, her husband, the bricklayer's foreman, as well as her shady brother, a janitor and a former theater director who likes to wax philosophical about art and life. He prefers to do this with his drama student, a former theology student who is in love with the theater director's daughter. Not forgetting the theater director's wife and his mistress. In the midst of them all: Henriette Johanne Marie Müller, better known as Zitronenjette, and her sister. They are all people on the margins of society whose lives are linked in a fateful and comical way.
