A number of decorative boards carelessly attached to the pale front of a dull concrete apartment block - the Excelsior building, Berlin. For most of its inhabitants this is just a stopover, very soon, life is going to get better, and everyone is trying to find their own way: 49 year old Michael tries to live up to his former success as an escort by promoting the application of "invisible make-up" online. Claudia's showgirl days are over, but the photos of a shooting session are to smooth her way back to the stage anyway. Norman's startup "ChangeU" is designed to help people get happy and himself get a sleek new sports car...

Hardly anyone of them manages to evade falling victim to the temptations of our success-oriented society.
