The hero of the Swiss/German Blue Hour (Die Blaue Stunde) is a highly successful male hustler named Theo (Andreas Herder). Wrapped up in his own expensive lifestyle, Theo plays little heed to his beautiful next-door neighbor Marie (Dina Leipzig). But when Marie's self-important boyfriend walks out without warning, Theo begins developing concern over the poor girl's plight. As a result, he falls genuinely in love for the first time in his life. And as things turn out, his first time may be his last.

Theo, an attractive German call boy, markets himself to other men in the personal ads of Berlin papers and leads an otherwise quiet life across the hall from Marie. Marie and Paul share an apartment that Marie pays for by working at a record store. A would-be writer, Paul spends his days sleeping or staring at the blank sheet of paper in his typewriter. After Paul leaves Marie for what he calls her "grotesque mediocrity," the protracted silence from across the hallway concerns Theo. Finally, on returning home one day, he observes that Marie's door is half open and ventures into her apartment to see if she is okay. Marie is devastated by Paul's departure and Theo takes it upon himself to coax her back to life. Strangely enough, he finds that she also awakens in him a desire for life that he had lost or given away to the countless men with whom he shares his body. When the two become intimate, Theo feels -- perhaps for the first time in a very long time -- that he is loved. Paul's untimely return signals the end of Theo's relationship with Marie and his life becomes once again a contrast of furtive rendezvous and bleak isolation.
