action
The 22-year-old protagonist, Christian Lukas, suffers from paranoid schizophrenia . He participates in a clinical trial of a new psychotropic drug and falls in love with another participant named Anna. You discover the death of a fellow participant. The doctors in charge cover up the incident instead of solving it. When Anna begins to show signs of the fatal side effects too, Christian breaks out of the test center to get help. But neither the police nor doctors believe in his story because of his diagnosis. Only his sister Alice stands by him, although she too has considerable doubts, until suddenly unknown persecutors actually appear. The real story of Christian's escape remains unclear because it is difficult to distinguish between psychosis and reality, and ultimately it is not even certain that Anna even exists.
