Despite the fact that Kruse, a production manager, has neither suitable actors nor appropriate specialists, he thoughtlessly boasted that he could direct a revue film. To keep his boast from exploding in his face, Kruse brings together four people: a dramatic adviser, a composer, a writer, and an architect – and saddled them with the task of turning his idea into a film. Except for Alexander Ritter, a rather unknown composer who applied himself to the project with boundless enthusiasm, the other members of the team are hopelessly overtaxed by the project. Initially, the production assistant, Claudia Glück and the rest of the team seriously question Ritter's competence, because he has absolutely no experience in composing material for revue films. However, what he lacks in experience he more than makes up with his creative energy and his enthusiasm for the project. Not only are all his colleagues' doubts soon cast aside, but Ritter also captures the heart of Claudia, the colleague who initially mistrusted him most.
