Torsten wasn't looking for anything. He just bought the lottery ticket to keep the peace with his lotto-enthusiastic co-workers. Eventually, he's forced to think about what to do with such a big win, when his ticket hits the jackpot. And he soon realizes, that he is the only one not having an answer to that question. His wife Susanne already knows what to do with their new found wealth. His son Lutz also makes plans. The shock-wave of this "lottobomb" tears Torsten's orderly world apart and leaves him with the question of who he really is.

Elise et sa mère, Betty, habitent un quartier sinistre de Iéna, dans les hauteurs d'un immeuble datant de la RDA. Elles ne se sont pas tout à fait remises de la mort accidentelle de leur père et époux, quelque temps plus tôt. L'adolescente se console avec la musique et des rêves de carrière, tandis que sa mère, infirmière, noie son chagrin dans des idylles fugaces et des nuits de débauche sur les pistes de boîtes de nuit.

Si Betty nourrit des espoirs de romance, c'est en réalité Elise qui subjugue Ludwig...
