action
Brzegi, a small Polish town on the German-Polish border: At the end of the 1980s, people were still fleeing across the border to Poland to get to the West. At the beginning of the 1990s, western wealth broke out in the former GDR ("thanks to Uncle Helmut's D-Mark"), but the economic upturn in Poland has not yet been felt. The three friends Zyga, Młot ('Hammer') and Kula ('Kugel') want to take their luck into their own hands. First they try their hand at cigarette smuggling, then they specialize in theft of clothes, shoes and perfume in Frankfurt (Oder).
The theft of goods, known in the jargon of the time as "Juma", is developing into an ever-growing business. Everyone participates: Zyga's windy aunt Halina, the Polish customs office (in the person of Zyga's godfather), the German customs office ("Germans are also people"), the mayor, even Zyga's initially reluctant mother, ultimately finds pleasure in her son's Juma trade . Zyga acts like Robin Hood and gives away his stolen goods to half the place. Zyga Majka especially wants to impress, but she is more interested in the German Ernst.
Finally, the police and the Russian mafia become aware of the hustle and bustle in the border town and the troubled Germans are also arming ...
