An emotionally charged court trial in the Wedding district court attracts a lot of attention. Manfred Moslehner, also known as "Manne", an 84-year-old man who has lived in his house since his birth is about evacuation. The investor, who acquired the settlement in Berlin-Reinickendorf, plans to modernize the houses and strive for a lucrative resale. Despite the commitment of Manne and his colleagues against the investor's modernization plans, the chances are bad.

In a hall of the court, the community of men, including friends, lawyers and journalists, meets. The judge, who has followed the tenant's struggle for years, is affected by the situation. Doubts are plagued whether you really have to make a judgment or whether there is still a way to reach an agreement. The history of the settlement on the Steinberg, which has been inhabited by working -class families since the 1920s, reflects the changes that the real estate market brought with it.

Manne rejected previous modernization attempts from the investor because he cannot afford a higher rent. His home is affected by serious defects that affect his quality of life. Despite the alternatives offered, Manne is hesitant to leave his beloved home. The judge plans to carefully weigh the arguments on both sides before she makes a final judgment. In the meantime there is still a vague hope of a solution because a member of the Bundestag is trying to convey.

The situation of Manfred Moslehner illustrates the challenges that tenants face when investors want to modernize their real estate and want to resell their real estate. The emotional legal process raises questions about social justice and the protection of long -standing residents. The participation of politicians and public attention illustrates the urgency of looking for decent solutions that respect the right to living space and dignity of the residents.
