But this time it doesn't work out - the group has to practice crisis intervention: Their friend Felix has more or less serious suicidal intentions. His wife not only wants to divorce the bumbling hypochondriac, but has also thrown him out of the house immediately. Oskar, another deserving divorce victim, knows how Felix feels and grants him indefinite asylum.
