"It's never too late to re-tune your soul"
Schultze is a middle-aged man who is quite overweight. He spent his whole life in a small village on the river Saale. Schultze's life, which consists of his job, the café, his allotment, folk music and fishing, is disrupted when he and his mates Manfred and Jürgen lose their jobs. As life loses its luster and the daily routine becomes a farce, Schultze discovers a life on the other side of the mountain. Traditional polkas no longer sound from his accordion, but the fiery sounds of the Southern States with which Schultze threatens to drastically disrupt the respectable anniversary celebration of the local music club.
