His wife is cheating on him, his partner Losfeld has betrayed him and his company is on the verge of bankruptcy. Deeply depressed and desperate, he rents a hotel room on the 32nd floor. He writes a farewell letter to his wife and opens the window to jump into the depths. A young woman is standing on the window sill next door, apparently up to the same thing. With the promise to spend the last evening of the year with her, he manages to save her and himself for the time being. This is the beginning of a strange, romantic, comical story that takes place on a single New Year's Eve and in which two people change their lives

Johannes Breutigam, ein erfolgreicher Architekt, wird an einem Silvesterabend mit der bitteren Realität konfrontiert. Seine Frau betrügt ihn, sein Partner Losfeld hat ihn hintergangen, sein Unternehmen steht kurz vor dem Bankrott. Tief deprimiert und verzweifelt mietet er ein Hotelzimmer im 32. Stock. Er schreibt einen Abschiedsbrief an seine Frau und öffnet das Fenster, um in die Tiefe zu springen, aber auf dem Fenstersims nebenan steht eine junge Frau, die offenbar das Gleiche vorhat.
