"Hans Schnier has earned his living as a clown, though he is in fact a very covert social critic, not too unlike many young German's after World War II. After a difficult childhood in Bonn during the Second World War, and his mother's fanatic Nazism, he is appalled to discover many of the people he knows and loves have been deeply involved in the Catholic Church. He becomes estranged from everyone."
"The place is the Federal Republic of Germany, 1960, under the blue skies of the German economic miracle. Hans Schnier, 30, for years a successful clown, is disgusted by the insincere moral standards of the middle class and "drops out". His friend, Marie, a girl of the proletariat, shares his life as his unmarried partner."

Hans Schnier for years has earned his living as a clown, though he is in fact a very covert sort of social critic. Disgusted by the insincere moral standards of the middle class he "drops out" along with his girfriend from the proletariat, Marie."
