Jorgos is a young Greek guest worker in Germany, known pejoratively as a “Katzelmacher,” Bavarian slang for “cat screwer,” referring to the supposed sexual habits of foreigners. He rents a room in Elisabeth’s house in the Munich suburbs. She and Peter hang out with a group of disaffected and bored young people who resent Jorgos and beat him up when he dates a German girl.
