The story of a Polish mother who is exploited as a cheap worker in Austria, and of an Austrian realtor, who fits the typical cliché of a stubborn, sexually frustrated and ugly midlife man.

This film is a portrait of life, a portrait of people with varying life plans. It asks the meaning of life, about how to fill the gap between birth and death, and what is happiness. Short documentary pieces tell the stories of some very different protagonists of a generation: from the forest-owning family in their stately home to the factory worker following her daily routine.
