The actor Otto Kullberg (Henry Hübchen) is a man that women love and men like. Occasionally he drinks too much. When he messes up a day's shooting of his new movie and is in danger of dropping out, a younger colleague (Markus Hering) is hired to shoot all the scenes a second time to be on the safe side: Leo, the producer, doesn't want to lose any money. Otto Kullberg, a pipsqueak and the center of attention, has to assert his role in the film, in 1920s costume, as a man caught between two women. And he tries to understand his role in life anew. Many films ago, there was a love story between Otto and his partner Bettina (Corinna Harfouch), who is now the wife of the director (Sylvester Groth). Are cinema and reality getting mixed up? No one wants to lose in the duel between the actors. Everyone loves the truth and everyone lies.
