"Birth, school, work, death" - is this what life will ultimately have been? In the mid-eighties in the village province, at least, everything looks like it: If you had asked the others in the class before an exam "What are you living for?", Hühnerhöppner says, they would have answered: "That won't come up, we don't need to know that." The fact that things are nevertheless different for Höppner has to do with his friend Frieder. His attempt to escape normal life by committing suicide went wrong, but in order to keep him alive, he is allowed to move into his grandfather's empty house with Höppner and a few others. A student commune in the middle of the country. In the end, six of them live there: with Harry, who sells drugs, and Pauline, the incredibly symmetrical arsonist whom Frieder met in a psychiatric clinic. As a life beyond the family home finally takes shape - crazy, carefree, wild, and sometimes dangerous - Frieder continues to struggle to find happiness. This is a burden to bear and share. Because everyone knows that if necessary, he can do it again. Against the fear is lived - with full force. Together.
