action
The married couple Alma and Henry Schiller live in their house in an idyllic village. One night they watch a stranger dig a grave in their garden. Alma knows the man with whom she had a deep passion.
A flashback tells the history of the scene. The formerly successful author David is fighting desperately against writer's block. Then he meets his school friend Mike, an insurance salesman who is in financial difficulties and suggests that they commit suicide together. At the critical moment, however, the pistol fails. Mike suffers a heart attack and is hospitalized. There David gets to know the publisher Alma, who, after a failed suicide attempt, spreads the motive for her suicide. David falls in love with Anna. Her story resolves David's writer's block and he makes Alma a role model for the main female character in his new novel "Gone".
He presented the finished manuscript to Anna's husband, a publisher. Henry realizes that his wife is the role model for the protagonist of the novel and prevents its publication. The rejection of the novel throws David into a crisis, he kidnaps Alma and forces her at gunpoint to read the novel she has not known before. The two spend a stormy night of love: Anna is drawn into the maelstrom of David's longing for death and can only with difficulty free herself and save herself to her husband. Thereupon David shoots himself in the garden of his lover.
criticism
"Debut film made without funding, which tries to describe a fateful passion and comes up with some qualities, but moves too indecisively between pathetic and ironic treatment of classic fantasy material."
