- Hans Bronstein is about to finish secondary school and needs to decide what to do next with his life. He has a girlfriend, Martha Lepschitz, who is an actress and whose parents seems to accept him with even fewer reservations than they accept their own daughter. Martha's profession also provides a motif that comments on the cultural context of the film: as the Holocaust intrudes on Hans's life and his relationship with his father through the narrative, Martha finds acting jobs in the presumably quite conventional output of Holocaust films, in which Jews are consistently portrayed as victims, confined safely to the historical past. Hans has considerably more difficulty dealing with his Father, who is opinionated and authoritarian in regard to his son, and with his sister Elle, who is hospitalized in a mental institution. Her affliction leads her to attack people at random, in the apparent belief that they are about to do her harm.

- The traveling carpenter Johannes Keinath is returning to his beloved Lake Constance for the first time in 20 years. He had once left an argument after he had struck down his brother Justus in a violent argument. As soon as he got home - his brother has still not forgiven him - the homecomer gets into a fight again: When two crooks attacked him after visiting the bar, the strong carpenter defends himself with all his might. Against his will, Johannes injures one of the crooks so badly that he believes he has killed him and fled out of fear. Disguised as a monk, he goes into hiding in a small lake village where "Brother Johannes" soon wins the trust of Pastor Arne Clausen. The Protestant clergyman is fighting to keep his dilapidated church, which is to be replaced by a modern motorway church. The support of the energetic monk is welcome to Clausen - Johannes can lend a hand, and his argument: "The church should be left in the village" is heard in the community. The shrewd glass shop owner Ulrich Neigenfindt is less enthusiastic, who has already snatched the precious church windows under the nail and wants to earn a lot from the new construction of the post-modern glass motorway church. Even more annoying for Neigenfindt is that the attractive carpenter's widow Sylvia, whom he has been keeping an eye on for a long time, gets along very well with brother Johannes. When Neigent finds out by chance that the supposed monk is being wanted by the police, he believes he can finally eliminate his adversary. But God's ways are unfathomable.

In fact the production company tried to save their catastrophic tv-rates of this series by re-casting the two main parts by a much stronger and much more known acting force in the last four episodes but to no avail.

- A classical who-dunnit-detective-story in an unusual setting: In the retirement-home for aging stage-artists "Ewige Rampe", an overly engaged doctor discovers what seems to be a murder by poison. The victim is the only inhabitant of the home who was not on stage, but a reporter of a gossip magazine. The two investigating police inspectors soon find out that the deceased lady blackmailed most of the inhabitants with little secrets she found out in her time as a reporter - nasty, but harmless things like a little shoplifting, alcoholism, a corrected date of birth, a success one never had... but are these little old secrets reason enough to kill someone? Or is there someone with a more important dark spot in the past? And what part does the attractive, but mysterious director of the house play, who cared for the founder of the "Ewige Rampe" in her old age? Has the caretaker, a plump man with a criminal background, a part in the murder? The film shows an eye-winking variety of aging stage-actors: the mundane old diva, the vain tenor, the melancolical comedian who always dreamed to be a tragic actor, the soubretta who would never admit her true age, the gay ballet-dancer, the opera-singer with a tragic story that made her loose her voice. All characters are hilariously comic, but touching and a little tragic at the same time. Finally, the cynical inspector and his young enthusiastic assistant solve the mystery in a surprising manner and peace comes back once more to the inhabitants of the idyllic place.
