Tells five concurrent tales linked only by their setting, 21st century Berlin. The first concerns Boris, a hand model turned conman desperate to go straight. The second story tells of Charlotte the tour barge announcer and her alcoholic boyfriend Peter who, through verbal abuse, consistantly sabotages her attempts to impress a former classmate and her posh husband. A third story focuses on Ali and his horny, desparate friends who, after a series of brutal mishaps, end up beaten, in debt and floating in a lake hopped up on rhino tranquilizers. Julian and Breslin are involved in a story of cannabis, anarchic hippy communes and gay artists. Last but not least, there is Fred the Satanist and his pointy haired sidekick Arnold.
