- 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.

- 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.
- An elegant lady on the outside, but in truth a cunning jewel thief: for Claire Vanderboldt, bourgeois: Klara Waldleitner, no coup is too complicated.

After her recent series of burglaries in a luxury hotel in Lichtenstein, however, an old acquaintance thwarts her plans. Vinzenz Kröger, a former master thief who is now trying his hand at manufacturing industrial robots, steals from the thief and returns all the valuables to their owners. But although he saves Claire from being arrested by the police, she doesn't trust him and his declarations of love. He's cheated her too many times in the past. When Claire carries out a spectacular jewel robbery in Hamburg shortly afterwards, she has no idea that Vinzenz is once again on her heels. He involves her in a breakneck escape over the rooftops of the city - at the end of which the loot naturally becomes Vinzenz's possession. However, the elegant charmer is less successful in his middle-class profession. His company is on the brink of bankruptcy, the new robots don't work, and the deal that saved him with a large Chinese company is also in danger of collapsing. Thanks to his equally inconspicuous and witty assistant Martina Ahlers, however, Kröger discovers that his competitor Axel Tiedtke is behind the sabotage of his new industrial robots. Together with Claire and Martina, Vinzenz hatches a crazy plan to trick the unscrupulous Tiedtke.
