The documentary records café conversations of the owners a week before closing the café for good. Erna and Dževad own a bus stop bar by the entrance to once one of the largest ironworks in Eastern Europe. The 'pub talks' filmed by observation technique the last week before the bar's final closure reveal former socialist labourers' new utopia - how to get hold of Germany, the only remaining paradise on earth.
