Tom, Ritzel and Andi are friends who, 20 years ago, founded the bicycle courier company “The Cooperative”. For years, the lads were market leaders in Zurich, but now there is competition in the city: the “Girls.Messengers”. They are younger, prettier and have better business ideas. The Cooperative is on the verge of bankruptcy. They borrow money from Fat Frank, an old ally turned enemy, and launch a counter-campaign. Their marketing concept is adventurous. It can certainly be described as explosive. It ruins The Cooperative and their friendship… Almost.

One day Philip Sturzenegger, manager of the SWC Bank, appears at her front door, threatening to foreclose the farm.

Early evening – a big city. Two teenagers shyly flirt with each other, a housewife sits down to watch her daily soap, nurses in a hospital gossip before the nightshift starts, a trendy couple drives through rush hour, so excited they can hardly wait to get home – a man with a rifle enters a building seeking revenge. In the blink of an eye seemingly unrelated events turn upside down what were once secure, happy, ‚normal’ lives. Behind fear, beyond the unexpected, there is love and hope.

A smokestack stubbornly pierces the sky. Trains rumble by down below. Lights come on in the buildings as night falls. There is a man behind the camera, looking for an image – of himself? Of the world? Of society? By day and night, in rain and snow, he stands filming at the window of his studio. Periodically we hear people leaving messages on his answering machine. They talk about the weather while on vacation and congratulate him on his birthday. His father dies, a child is born, the young family begins to fall apart. Time passes. Slowly the cityscape morphs into the inner landscape of the man behind the camera.

A comedy about aging, youth and other eternal truths. Of all days, precisely on her fiftieth birthday, Julia has to experience that age makes you invisible. Frustrated, she goes shopping and makes an acquaintance, spontaneously deciding to spend the evening with this stranger, rather than with the guests of her own birthday party. They wait for her in a restaurant, all dressed up and groomed, lively debating the years that have passed. The truths and wisdom of Julia's closest friends on aging and growing old are drowned increasingly in sufficient quantities of alcohol. In the mean time, on her eightieth birthday, Leonie, sulking over the loss of youth, is rebelling against her daughter, the senior citizen's home, conventions, and old age in general - and joyfully sabotaging the party in her honor.

He laboriously persists in grappling with small-time dealers and fixers while being left in the lurch again and again by his colleagues Ruedi, Dani and Marco. Strähl hides his loneliness and his yearning for love behind fits of rage, amphetamines and shouting fits until his choleric temperament finally becomes his undoing: as he’s conducting a house search, a fixer jumps out of the window. Strähl is suspended. And that’s just the start of his problems. Suddenly Strähl finds himself at the mercy of two fixers: the soccer fanatic René and his girlfriend Carol could exonerate him with their testimony. Strähl’s attempts to persuade them fail in face of Carol’s stubbornness. In desperation, he ends up raiding the small-time dealer Beko and stealing from his stash of heroin to get René and Carol to relent. This sets off a chain of events that brings the big catch within reach…
