Matthias' passion is fast cars. His brother Max's heart beats only for Italian operas - until he meets Anika, who happens to be selling her red sports car, in a music store.
Matthias secretly sells her grandfather's watch behind his brother's back to get the money for his dream car. "A Volcano Erupts." Doors slam, a couple is locked out, one spends the night on the couch, cars are wrecked in rows before the watch finds its way back to the two unequal brothers.
Matthias' dream of owning a sports car nevertheless comes true.
Max and Anika find each other. (Source: Film Catalog Screenings A6 HFF FIL-92)
