Plot summary
A group of anarchists squatting in a Kreuzberg building make propaganda films; in one of them they show how to build a bomb from a pressure cooker and chemicals. They plant the device in a vacant villa in Grunewald, but its timer sticks, and the bomb lies there while the friends drift apart. Years later it goes off and injures a real estate broker and a buyer, and the police come under pressure to find those responsible. Tim and Hotte still live in the old building and cannot be evicted, because Hotte lost his legs. When officers raid the squat and carry off the old films, the two go looking for Nele, a single mother; Terror, an attorney; Maik, who runs an advertising agency; and Flo, Tim's former lover, who is about to marry.
