SummaryThe worker Frank Raban lives with his wife and little daughter in a room in their mother's apartment. He builds his own home, sometimes procures material illegally. When an evening bricklayer wants to be paid in forum checks, Frank strikes outraged and lands in front of the prosecutor. His brigade vouches. His two West Berlin brothers Markus and Olaf help him with money, but their price is high. Markus is praying for an antiques trade - with stolen art treasures from the GDR. He's using family ties to the East for his break-ins. When Markus and Olaf murder a museum guard, Frank tells his wife everything. She's trying to convince him to turn herself in to the police.
