A city somewhere between Duisburg and Dortmund. The Klüsen family of three lives here. Son Michael is about to finish his studies and is looking for his first job. Father Jörg has worked in a company that sells stationery since his apprenticeship and is satisfied. Meanwhile, mother Inge takes care of the four walls at home and fights a hopeless fight against the demon Depression on her own.
