Plot Summary

Kenan and Lissi live side by side in a semi-detached house in Munich - and yet in different worlds. He is an order-loving bourgeois who doesn't tolerate a speck of dust in his house and devotes himself meticulously to growing roses in the garden. No wonder that she, a best-selling author and life artist, has very little to do with the philistine next door. There is only one thing that connects them: Lissi is the landlady of Kenan's semi-detached house.
