Behrani, an Iranian immigrant buys a California bungalow, thinking he can fix it up, sell it again, and make enough money to send his son to college. However, the house is the legal property of former drug addict Kathy. After losing the house in an unfair legal dispute with the county, she is left with nowhere to go. Wanting her house back, she hires a lawyer and befriends a police officer. Neither Kathy nor Behrani have broken the law, so they find themselves involved in a difficult moral dilemma.

a movie about similar situation "House of Sand and Fog" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0315983/ . The US where the movie is set of course isn't Germany, it is more socially stratified and the "job is a job" is much less applicable here.
House of Sand and Fog. Yes, excellent movie. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Sand_and_Fog_%28film%29
