The background of the film is East Germany in Europe in 1980s.
Weissler is an agent with outstanding professional ability. He was ordered to spy on playwright Dreyman and his girlfriend Christina. Dreiman was monitored for his remarks, and he expressed people's voices through his writing.
Weissler didn't report what he heard in the monitoring, so he helped Dreiman.
Before the plot of soliciting prostitutes happened, Dreyman discovered the abnormal relationship between his girlfriend and politicians, and politicians used their power to oppress her. Christina reluctantly agreed, because she can't be an actress, it will hurt her boyfriend, and it is also inseparable from the glory of the actress and the fear of persecution. The plot is like this. I haven't seen it for a long time.
Dreiman understood that he didn't scold his girlfriend and gave her a quiet hug as required.
Weissler was very moved when he heard all this. Compared with Dreyman's love life with his girlfriend, Weissler lives alone and his home is deserted. The work of an agent made him unpopular with his neighbors. He was lonely. He just felt the warm feelings of a couple through listening, so he called a prostitute, which was a courtesy.
Weissler didn't get enough time when he called a prostitute, and wanted the prostitute to continue, but the prostitute seemed to be in a hurry to catch the next customer. This setting is wonderful, but all prostitutes are not completely satisfied, and they are more lonely.
Viszler is looking forward to the monitoring after soliciting prostitutes. He wants to know the life of Dreyman and Christina.
Lonely, he was moved by couples through monitoring, felt the temperature of life, and turned him into a person, no longer a tool in the hands of politicians.
This made Weissler listen to the false report to help Dreiman and Christina, which is a useful lesson.
In the whole film, the plot of soliciting prostitutes is logical, that is, it plays the role of connecting the preceding with the following.
