action

Lukas lives with his girlfriend Meike, whose apartment he could never afford himself. Other things are important to him, like his buddies, his clothes and his dance style. Meike cleans up after him, runs the household and stands up for him with his boss. Only when she had to go to the hospital because of a sexually transmitted disease did she find out firsthand how little Lukas was willing to give. Meike puts Lukas in front of the door and his easy life begins to totter. Lukas can't withstand the pressure to finally grow up. The only way out seems to him to be a reconciliation with Meike, but perhaps only because it seems to be the easiest way.
