The elderly photographer Joseph Ernst has spent his entire life in the same apartment building. Now it is to be demolished to make way for a new building for high earners – for him, it's the end of the world. Since the death of his wife, Joseph has lived a secluded life in the house where he has spent his entire life; his only companion is his dog Leika. As the building's caretaker, he keeps the building tidy and maintains a distant relationship with the tenants. On the ground floor, next to Marlen Kramer's bakery, Joseph runs a photo studio. Herbert Leiser as the old photographer Joseph Ernst and Heidi Maria Glössner as Lilly, the head of a real estate company, play the leading roles in this moving story about an old building threatened with demolition and its residents.
