Mrs. Stern has seen a lot in her life. Lived and survived a lot. She loved many men, ran a restaurant and, above all, smoked a lot. Mrs. Stern is 90 years old, Jewish and survived the Nazis. Love, she has learned, is a decision. So is death. And so Mrs. Stern decides that it is now time to leave the world. But the doctor is no help to her, a pair of robbers rescue her from the bathtub and a walker helps her up from the rails. For the sake of simplicity, the resolute lady would like to get her hands on a gun. Granddaughter Elli, the "sweetheart", could probably help best, because she knows the coolest dealer in Berlin-Neukölln. But Elli doesn't bring Mrs. Stern any closer to death. On the contrary...
