Each night, when the moon rises, the evil hand crawls out of his grave to steal the money of the people in Dresden. Each night, for 800 years now. But, suddenly everything changes...

The hand meets a nice frog-lady and a rat. Together they bring panic to Dresden. Lieutenant Böckle, a reckless foreigner, sees a big chance for his career and claims that terrorists menace the city. In a bizarre spiral, ever stranger things happen in a pizzeria and in a big shopping mall. In the end the evil baron, to whom the land and the hand once belonged, is forced to intervene.

A turbulent satire about small city life and the clash of different cultures and times. The Kurdish owner of a takeaway meets a Baron from the middleages and inbetween the Italian guy from the pizzeria falls in love with the "punkie" German waitress. Even the hand finds his Daddy.

The city of Dresden is one of the most beautiful places in the world - very well known - but it is also a metaphor for today´s life between history and commercial shopping malls.The story sets off a screwballlike dynamic - very funny, intelligent and romantic at the same time.
