A man arrives at JFK-Airport in New York on a cold November morning. In the airport bathroom he cuts his hair and changes his clothes. He owns a small and odd looking linen bound book. The printed pages are covered in notes, written in a woman's pale handwriting. He has carried this book for many years. He had no idea that it will bring his entire past into question.

After the death of the legendary trade unionist and red veteran Peppi Schober, his bereaved family members, a steadfast father and his ideology-free son, finally clear the table and settle accounts: with fifty years of political, contemporary and family history, with ideologies, illusions - and above all with each other.

Heinzi Boesel and Kurt Fellner are two Austrian health inspectors forced to work together, traveling through Austria. Over time a beautiful friendship evolves between the odd couple who couldn't stand each other initially; a friendship that even overcomes the boundaries of great tragedy.

A crime comedy directed by Peter Weck. The movie follows "Geliebte Gegner" (1998).
