Plot Summary:Hanna Berger has no idea that she will soon be begging herself when she slips her change into a homeless person as she passes by. Her husband Walter has long been hiding how bad things are with his small wine business and their joint finances. When he finally wants to tell her, Walter suffers a fatal heart attack. Hanna, from whom he also concealed his health problems, now finds out everything at once: They have been living on credit for a long time - most recently with dubious loans at usurious interest rates. Now even the apartment can no longer be held, and the bailiff will soon come. Despite the blows of fate, Hanna bravely tries to take her life into her own hands. However, there is an insurmountable hurdle: in order to be able to receive social benefits, her daughter Elke must also be brought in. That is out of the question for Hanna because her only child broke up with her. No matter where she turns - to her friends Gabriele and Klaus or the specialist advisor at the social welfare office - everywhere she is referred to her daughter. Hanna would rather sleep in the homeless shelter or under a bridge than let Elke pay for her. More and more she takes on life on the street: She picks up leftover food from plates and drinks bottles that have been thrown away, she rummages through garbage cans and doesn't let men like the bottle collector take anything away from her. Hanna finds shelter and protection with Mecki, who lives with other homeless people. There she also learns that many like her have ended up on the street despite work. Hanna's daughter Elke cannot continue as before. She had told her friend Lars, as well as daughter Paula, that her parents were long dead. Now when the truth comes out, Lars urges a reconciliation. To do this, mother and daughter have to tackle a conflict about which both women have been persistently silent for a long time.
