Summaries

Storyline

After shy, reclusive Christian loses his job, he starts to work for a wholesale market. Bruno from the beverage aisle takes him under his wing and quickly becomes a fatherly friend to him. He shows him the ropes and patiently teaches him how to operate the fork lift. In the aisles he meets "Sweets"-Marion. He is instantly smitten by her mysterious charm. The coffee machine becomes their regular meeting point and the two start to get to know each other. But Marion is married and Christian's feelings for her seem to remain unrequited, especially when Marion does not return to work one day. Christian slowly becomes a member of the wholesale market family and his days of driving forklifts and stacking shelves mean much more to him than meets the eye. — Beta Film GmbH Young Christian is the new kid at the supermarket. Shy but fascinated, he goes on a journey of discovery in the world behind the scenes. In the endless aisles of the storerooms, he makes the acquaintance of those little employees who are constantly filling and arranging the shelves. The staff is strictly hierarchically organized and everything runs according to a fixed set of rules. Christian is entrusted to Bruno, the experienced manager of the beverage department. The older man, who soon has fatherly feelings for the boy, shows him all the tricks and teaches him how to drive the forklift truck for which a special driving license is required. On the other side of the beverage department, in the sweets department, works Marion, with whom Christian has a coffee now and then during the break. He falls in love with her and she doesn't seem indifferent to the "new guy" either. There is only one problem: Marion is married. Yet she seems trapped in an unhappy marriage, so the other storekeepers, who all like Marion, support Christian in his advances. After Christmas, the wife no longer shows up for work. She has taken sick leave. Depressed, Christian fights against letting himself be carried away headlong into a short-circuit act--as he did in his previous life.
