Charlotte Schmutte, a Bible-thumping mousie type, runs a baggage taxi service on the tiny island of Helgoland. When she gets a glimpse of ex-prostitute Ayse on the jetty, she thinks an angel has landed; a herald of Judgement Day... In fact, Ayse is an ex-prostitute who's come to claim her inheritance: Horst, a regular costumer, has left her his entire fortune, which consists mainly of a greasy dockside snackbar.
