On a cold night in Berlin, a young woman leaves the shower with the craving for a cigarette. She dons a coat and heads for a vending machine on the street. As the door slams shut, she realizes she has locked herself out. Then everything goes wrong: the coin gets stuck, it starts raining and she walks off in a rage unaware of the coincidences she has just set in motion.
