Auf das Leben! (To Life!) plot
Ruth is a fine lady; a bit sarcastic but a very warm-hearted older woman, who, despite her traumatic childhood, is firmly rooted in life. It is only when her apartment is forced to sell, along with her studio with musical instruments, that her energy slowly drains. This is necessary to finance the costs of her move to a retirement home, much to her liking. Jonas, opposite, is 29 and lives in a minibus after he and his girlfriend broke up. He is now battling the first symptoms of a very serious illness, which he is well aware is likely to end badly.
