Two identical houses accommodate two unequal families: the Guerra and the Salvador. The Guerra family breaks up when Joaquín abandons his wife Mónica and his three children. But that same day, Arturo and Teo Salvador, a father and his son who have lived alone since the death of their mother, arrive at the neighboring house. Thus begins a confrontation between two opposing paternity models: the tender and present father, against the one who renounces and forgets. But how and why do these families look for each other, or get lost, or find each other without knowing that they have been lost? An innocent prayer on the mountain will trigger danger, illusion, laughter, fear and the conquest of these boys alone in a forest of questions, violence, but also mercy.

L'Allemagne dans un futur proche. Le pays est riche, tous les problèmes semblent résolus, il n'y a pas de pollution et de chômage. L'alcool mais aussi les légumes cultivés dans son propre potager sont interdits, on ne parle plus de suicide mais de mort subite, la télévision veille à la tranquillité par ses émissions comme le concours annuel de l'humour (placé dans une série mettant en scène Einstein et Napoléon) et des bulletins météorologiques toujours positifs. La police (dont le symbole est un poing au pouce levé) fait régner l'ordre grâce à ses actions contre les "Prokos". Tous les médias sont entre les mains d'un groupe dont la direction appartient à la même famille. La seule parole critique se trouve dans la série de bande dessinée La Panthère bleue qui fait une caricature de patrons autocrates et réunit leurs adversaires, les "Krysmopompes". Rainer Werner Fassbinder y joue son dernier rôle, avant sa mort le 10 juin 1982
