Two women with political and private goals roam through the metropolis on the Main: the "coitus thief" Inge Maier on the hunt for sex and money, the GDR spy Rita Müller-Eisert on the hunt for state secrets, which becomes a search for the visible reality of the Federal Republic of Germany. The two fictional characters break the more or less documentary portrait of the city with subtle humor and sharpen it at the same time.
