The story

Bruno Stroszek is a West Berlin street performer. Released from prison and warned to stop drinking, he immediately goes to a familiar bar where he meets Eva, a prostitute down on her luck, and lets her stay with him at the apartment his landlord kept for him. They are then harried and beaten by Eva's former pimps, who insult Bruno, destroy his accordion, and humiliate him by making him kneel on his piano with bells balanced on his back.
