An idyllic village somewhere in Swabia. „Save your way to the post office“ is the business idea of a postman (Mehmet Yilmaz). He not only distributes the letters, he also picks them up. During his journey through the little town, he reflects offstage on his customers. Who lives how and where, who is currently involved with whom and who currently has small problems – nothing escapes him and everything he carries on. He reports with relish on the intimate details of the villagers. Finally he opens a letter over the steam of the coffee cup. He reveals his contents to the policeman (Max Riemelt), who stands next to him at the snack bar.
