Anna Blume (Beate Jensen) is a 20-year-old woman who grows weary of her dead-end job at the supermarket. She meets a middle-aged dentist named Armin (Sepp Bierbichler) who offers her a bizarre but alluring proposition: He will pay her to live with him, and she will have no specific duties because all he wants is a female presence in his house. But when she moves in with the emotionally detached dentist, she falls in love with him, and together the two neurotics drift toward tragedy.
