She and he meet in the stairwell. She sidles past him to the third floor, where her fireman Max is waiting. He stares after her and enters the flat of his girlfriend Karina, the brash career woman, on the second floor. Is it because of the neighbour with the snakeskin trousers that he only dreams of playing the drums and dropping out of university? Fireman Max also suddenly feels uncomfortable in the house and waits longingly for a fire. There is a lot of sparking between the floors. What burns cannot be extinguished with water.
