action
After separating from his girlfriend, Paul moved into the new apartment. Lonely and lethargic , he tries to distract himself with writing and a couple of glasses of whiskey. In the apartment opposite, late one evening he recognizes the silhouette of a man who is standing in the window and seems to be watching him. Despite initial distrust, he does not pay much attention to the voyeur. When he finds an empty Polaroid in his mailbox and shortly thereafter receives unanswered calls, Paul feels uncomfortable. A man who introduces himself as Gus calls him. Although Paul doesn't seem to know the man, the two spend an evening together. Paul doesn't care. He tells about the man across the street and the Polaroid. Gus wants to calm him down. On the same evening Paul discovers blood stains through the window in the apartment in question and from now on he wants to get to the bottom of the matter. The apartment on the other side is empty. The case becomes even more curious when Paul wakes up the next morning and something is written on his forehead. Paul and Gus get the key and stay in the empty apartment. But nothing happens. Only when Paul suspects the mysterious observer in his apartment does the story pick up speed again. But Paul doesn't find anyone in his own apartment either. On the Polaroid, which has now developed, he finally recognizes his ex-girlfriend Mia and begins to worry about her well-being. At the same time he learns the truth about the man in the window and the associated identity of his strange friend Gus. With his nerves completely exhausted, he contacts his ex-girlfriend and heads for an unstoppable tragic end.
