action

The Austrian actor Adrian is on his way to a casting in Munich. At a gas station he meets Julia and her friend Philipp. Julia gets into his car after an argument with Philipp. Due to a landslide, Adrian has to take a detour over a pass. Philipp catches up with him and persuades Julia to drive with him again.

As Adrian drove on, he passed an accident car. A man is badly injured. Since his cell phone has no network reception, he wants to get help from a guesthouse in a lonely hamlet . But when he comes back with the gendarme Karl who lives there, the accident vehicle and the seriously injured man have disappeared. But Julia and her companion reappear. Adrian stops them, causing their car to end up in the ditch. The gendarme wants everyone to stay at the boarding house overnight.

The next day they drive to the alleged accident site again to recover Philip's car and find a body there, the person Andrian had found in the accident car the night before. Adrian comes under suspicion because the dead man has the same name as his rival for the casting role and also has a hole in the head. Adrian tries to escape several times.

Towards the end of the film it becomes clear that everything is just an act, that all actors except Adrian act according to a script (comparable to the Truman Show or The Game ). The fanatical director Philipp wants to push Adrian so far that he would kill a person, which he succeeds: He provokes Adrian so much that Adrian shoots him with intent to murder. However, the weapon only contains blank cartridges. For Julia, the psychological pressure on Adrian becomes too high and gets out before then. She goes to the hidden control room and directs Adrian through a mine tunnel there.

In the end, Adrian is celebrated by everyone as an outstanding young actor.
