While Germany in 1834 is simmering in every corner, the resistance led by Georg Büchner is working on the revolution. Heinrich Furrer secretly prints Büchner‘s revolutionary leaflet “Der Hessische Landbote“ in his brother Gustav‘s printing House, thus supporting the revolutionaries. Heinrich loves Minna. She wants to go to America!… and he‘s supposed to come with her. Everything could be so simple if Heinrich weren‘t living with Agnes, a former prostitute, if he had the necessary money and Minna wasn‘t married to his brother Gustav.
