Open fields, the blue sky, and meditative country roads – it seems too good to be true: It seems that Erik (Jürgen Vogel) is living his dream of freedom and independence. He’s perfectly content working on the motorcycles in his workshop and he has enough time to spend with his girlfriend Julia (Petra Schmidt-Schaller) and her daughter. . But Erik’s tranquil country life starts to slowly unravel when director Maximilian Erlenwein (SCHWERKRAFT) introduces Henry (Moritz Bleibtreu). The hooded Henry and two other mysterious figures suddenly appear in Erik’s life and don’t seem to want to leave. But there is a catch: no one else around him seems to see them, only Erik. Erlenwein first sends his protagonist on an inner and then an outward psycho trip into his own personal heart of darkness. In doing so, Erlenwein with the help of cinematographer Ngo The Chau ((DAS LEBEN IST NICHTS FÜR FEIGLINGE, BANKLADY) relies on the examples set by David Lynch (BLUE VELVET, LOST HIGHWAY), DAVID FINCHER (FIGHT CLUB) and Nicolas Winding Refn (DRIVE, ONLY GOD FORGIVES), but gives the story his own twist. Strong performances by the duo Bleibtreu and Vogel.
