Synopsis:

Christmas Eve setting in contempo Berlin sets the cliche alarm bells ringing, as several strands are initially connected by the voiceover of two breakfast radio announcers. Of the half dozen threads on offer, the one with the most resonance concerns lonely, long-widowed, subway train driver, Otto (Klaus Gehrke) who is forced to take forthright saleswoman, Sieglinde (Karin Duwel) into his front carriage so she can make a videotape for a sponsored child in Africa. It is when passengers board Otto's train that most of the strands intersect.

Berlin on Christmas Eve. A group of people meet who have nothing to do with each other, except for the fact that their paths happen to cross.
