Schulz and Podolski meet by chance in a urologist's office. Instantly taking a great liking to one another, they discover they have much in common. Both emigrated to the Bronx in their twenties, only to return to Germany on retiring some forty years later. Having become fast friends, they tend to do everything together, finally moving into their own apartment in Bonn. What Flaubert's Bouvard and Pécuchet was to nineteenth century Paris, Schulz and Podolski are to the modern Cologne-Bonn area, two old men, with radically different views on sex and religion, trying to come to grips with life, but both ultimately suffering a tragic end.
