action
The young Berliners Judy and Dean are 23 years old and work for VEB Autotrans. They met four years earlier in Berlin's Alexanderplatz train station. During a spontaneous dance performance, they noticed that they had the same feeling for it. On the roofs of his company, Dean gives information about his other work tasks. Judy is a secretary and is shown in her office refusing to touch a carp brought for fun in order to put it in an aquarium. This notice shows that the day of shooting is New Years Eve. Judy and Dean, who passionately dance rock 'n' roll in their free time, go on a dance tour to six different evening events in Berlin that day. The fun that the two have at their performances is carried over to the guests in the restaurants, who are invited to dance along. Her performance marathon will be monitored by camera until the early morning of New Year's Day. Judy and Dean are also a couple in private, but the time is not yet ripe to get married.
