Alfons is a passionate crane driver. He also lives in his crane at the harbour and that makes him being alone most of the time - because between him and the outside world are over 1000 steps.
He loves sitting on the top of his driver´s cab after work playing his flugelhorn while the city beneath asks itself where this lovely music is coming from?
One day Ramona and a kitty are entering the steps of Alfons´ life and they make him so cofused that this shy man ends up on the cover of a newspaper.
