Ganz oder gar nicht - Ladies Night

Six guys—an older one with a hip injury, a fat one, a Black guy, a young one, a gay guy, and a handsome one—all have the same problem: they’re unemployed.

They worked at Opel, drove trucks for a freight company, and worked underground.
They studied media communications and drove taxis; they ran a bar or had a small shop. They worked as dance instructors or delivered newspapers.
They’re not afraid of anything, and yet the job market has spit them out.

Just a typical Ruhr region story.
And what do these six guys do about their situation?
The best thing, of course: they take their clothes off. Yes, they strip. But before they do that, they have to overcome a lot of problems.
With each other, with their wives, their coworkers, and each with themselves. They put their masculinity to the test and, in the process, discover their hearts.

Solidarity, tolerance, and the ability to celebrate are the three cornerstones of the much-vaunted Ruhr Valley mentality. And don’t give up—stay human.
