A psychological thriller about two men whose countryside journey becomes increasingly disorienting and intimate, testing the boundaries of their relationship and reality itself.

Two young men, Johann and Robin, take a trip into the countryside. The more they walk the forests of Brandenburg, the stranger their adventure becomes. Bikes disappear, maps prove useless – and each gets to know a new side of the other.
