A contemplative road film about two damaged men learning to connect through shared travel and conversation, set against the melancholic backdrop of decaying cinemas near a divided Germany.

Itinerant projection-equipment repairman Bruno Winter and depressed hitchhiker Robert Lander - a doctor who has just been through a break-up with his wife and a half-hearted suicide attempt - travel along the Western side of the East-German border in a repair truck, visiting worn-out movie theaters, learning to communicate across their differences.
