Peace suddenly breaks out in the Middle East – an unpleasant turn of events for many involved, who suddenly see their futures and livelihoods threatened. In the midst of the turmoil of this unexpected situation, Austrian UN officer Werner Baumschlager finds himself enlisted by various parties to sabotage the unwanted peace. And that's not all: his two lovers and his wife learn about each other and each hatch their own plans.

The antihero "Mr. Karl" tells a "young person", the viewer, his life story while he sits at work in the warehouse of a delicatessen. The narrator increasingly turns out to be an opportunistic follower from the petty-bourgeois milieu, who maneuvered his way through life in the changing course of Austrian history from the end of the First World War to the end of the occupation in the 1950s.
