Washed-up writer Walter (Kurt Raab) needs money, but various efforts fail until his mistress helps, after which she asks him to kill her while in a sexually-aroused condition. He accommodates her and goes home to his brash, slovenly wife (Helen Vita) and mentally challenged Ernst (Volker Spengler) who tries to have sex with flies. After other adventures, he writes a piece, which his wife identifies as being written by a 19th century homosexual poet. Convinced he is a reincarnation of that poet, he sticks with that persona. And on it goes in this dark, dark comedy.
