Two adolescents, Sauly and Mick, get to know each other while hitchhiking and stick together for the long haul. They both want to reach the ocean, which is some thousand kilometers away. An old car picks them up, but the trip ends shortly thereafter in a sleazy motel. At the bar, a man named Landolfi approaches them. He explains to Sauly that he must have sold his guardian angel to a man by the name of Miller in the city of Prince. Though the boys do not believe in guardian angels, Sauly slowly succumbs to his own fears. He would like to have his guardian angel back again. On their trip, Sauly becomes sick. Mick works on a farm to pay the doctor's bills. Once Sauly is well, they travel farther - until they reach Prince. In this mysterious city, all of the people are named Miller, and once Sauly and Mick finally are at the ocean, they meet Landolfi once more.

Перед Сочельником пути многих людей пересекаются. У каждого из них в этот день своя особенная история ... Врач детской поликлиники с радостным сердцем покидает больницу утром 24 декабря. Родители маленького Матиаса снова помирились. На прощание привратник преподносит ей шоколадного Деда Мороза, которого часто следует проходить в этот день: при той или иной мимолетной встрече, в качестве милого жеста для других. Судьба играет немного Кнехта Рупрехта и раздает его дары. Два одиноких сердца спешат спастись от праздничной суеты. Несчастный случай сводит их обоих вместе. За бутылку игристого вина в этом испуге сладкий шоколадный мужчина меняется на разведенного мужа Ильзы, которого каждый год в одно и то же время тянет обратно к семье на колени.

Frank and Kamminke study informatics in Leipzig and have developed a program that enables a computer to automatically find and correct errors in its software. Freshly graduated, they are relocated to a remote Thuringian village after causing a computer breakdown. There, they are supposed to work in a small company that has no clue of economic management. The rather helpful computer system from West Germany plainly lacks compatible software. But Frank and Kamminke are not allowed to work with the hardware, although it is them who could make most out of the complex system. Eventually, and with the help of consultant Petra whom both are in love with, they break into the system control room on New Year′s Eve and start up the computer with their special program.
