The Berlin of the present. Cranes everywhere you look. Diggers sink their teeth into the gold mine. Two prisoners on remand meet in Moabit prison, an old writer and Paul, 22, a roofer. The old man feels called to write Paul's story, which begins on a construction site in the gentrification hotspot on Rigaer Strasse and ends with the violent death of a real estate manager. But he also tells the story of Marie, who makes Paul her toy boy.
