Description

On a hot Friday in a block of flats on the outskirts of a German city, there is a problem with the water supply. During his inspection the caretaker Lohmeier meets Franziska Dehke and her Arabian flatmate Fatima Mansur. Fatima is visited by her boyfriend Kalil every evening, while on the sofa Franziska dreams of the Orient. Peter Kaparti, the neighbour, is irresistibly drawn to their flat. A problem with the lifts causes the five characters’ destinies to merge. The temporal levels and boundaries between dream and reality become blurred. The desert wind of the Arabian night blows through the apartment block, but all of a sudden this magical scenario collapses.
