action
Andrea, in her early 40s, is a woman without a past - playful, direct, light, energetic, honest, unpredictable. She and 50-year-old Philipp have been together for some time and decide to move in together. Andrea's presence should fill the gap for the deceased Hanna. 19-year-old Martin is Philip's son and loves and desires Andrea too. Expectations, fears and longings grow in this triangle. The three characters live in a house, act outside of social norms and then fail because of their much too human needs. The inner emptiness begins to seek attachment, consolation and, last but not least, security. In the end there is emptiness and the question of guilt, to which no answer can be given.
