Plot
[edit]After a three-year stay abroad in the United States, young Gernot returns to Germany with his girlfriend Kathy, whom he met during his time there. Not really knowing what to do in his home country, Gernot takes Kathy on a trip to Corsica. The couple rent a hotel room there. Gernot told Kathy that he would like to emigrate because he didn't really like it in Germany. His goal is to live in South America. A friend of his works in Nicaragua.
Other friends of Gernot are active in the film industry, including his homosexual friend Martin Palm and Sarah Lenhart. Gernot watches one of her films at the hotel in Corsica to kill time. In the film, the character played by Sarah shoots her boyfriend's best friend when she thinks he wants to approach her sexually.
After Gernot has spent a few days with his friends and then returns to Kathy, she tells him that their relationship is not working out and that she wants to return to the States. Shortly afterwards, Gernot says goodbye to Kathie, who has booked a ship passage. Unlike Kathy, Gernot remains undecided and continues to spend most of his time in his hotel room. He calls Sarah to meet her and spends some time talking about the world's problems with fellow hotel guest Christoph Liedloff.
With Sarah, Gernot kills time and after a while comes to the decision that he will probably go back to Germany because he needs money. Being a gifted cartoonist, he is considering selling his work, perhaps to get a grip on his financial problems.
