Man and gravity: A classical tragedy. The individual's struggle with his self and the overwhelmingly complex structure of the universe. A stewardess, an excavator driver, a furniture salesman and a millionaire speak about one object that they dedicate themselves to with passion. They demonstrate which precautions they take so that the events of life don't turn into accidents.

"I met all heroes by accident and listened fascinated to their stories. Everybody has a special personality and you enjoy listening to what they have to tell - once in a lovely and charming way, once with unintentional irony, and also with a dry seriousness" (H. Schomerus).
