Monday um Zehn

At the latest when Helga (62) crashes through the floor of her living room, she realises that she is stuck. Ever since her husband left her for another woman two years ago, Helga has been unable to overcome her anger. She also feels abandoned by her friends and her daughter. When her cleaning lady goes on holiday and sends the Polish worker Ryszard (60) as a substitute, everything changes. Initially himself the target of Helga's displeasure, Ryszard soon becomes her confidant. Although they don't speak the same language, Helga feels understood and can finally let go. In the protection of their own four walls, the two grow closer. But when Helga's family and friends find out about her secret, Helga finds it difficult to admit her feelings for Ryszard, who does not at all correspond to the common image of masculinity in her milieu, in front of the others. As a result, she risks losing her new happiness again.
