A many-voiced song of the night, from 1989 to the recent past. A young woman stands at the window watching the evening sky; in January business is slow. 'The Horse Man' is searching for his daughter. 'The Man from Bielefeld' takes over the market with new business ideas, investing in clubs and brothels. 'AK 47' lies shot on the asphalt. Prostitutes, angels and businessmen fight for money, power and their dreams in the red-light world, which becomes a picture of capitalism in change, told both realistically and surreally, tenderly and without sparing anything.
