The story

Released from prison and warned to stop drinking, he immediately goes to a familiar bar where he meets Eva, a prostitute down on her luck, and lets her stay with him at the apartment his landlord kept for him.

Faced with the prospect of further harassment, Bruno and Eva decide to leave Germany with Bruno's eccentric elderly neighbor Scheitz, who plans to move to Wisconsin to live with his nephew Clayton.

Eva and Bruno buy a mobile home which is sited on Clayton's land; with bills mounting, the bank threatens to repossess it.
