Two women are at the center of the film: Mela is an artist, Leila sees herself as a self-confident nymphomaniac and occasionally forgets to collect her fee from her clients. Her male counterpart Henning is a gallant, albeit loud-mouthed, chatterbox. An exciting and tempestuous ménage-à-trois develops between them - in the middle of Munich.
