action

A man (Friedrich Mücke) wakes up in the middle of the fog in a vineyard. Obviously he was unconscious, he has lost any memory of his previous life, and his name can no longer be remembered. The corpse of a young, festively dressed woman hangs in the vines next to the man. As he explores the area, he comes across a distraught boy who is running away from him. Looking for help, the man goes to the village at the foot of the vineyard, Kaltenzell an der Ahr, and reports his find in the village mayor's inn, Zepter. Ignoring his name, he poses as Johannes Fuchs. Scepter and some residents organize a search party but cannot find a body. The stranger receives temporary accommodation in the inn and is invited to the upcoming wine festival of the community. To his confusion, he identifies the apparently dead woman in the vines as Sophia Finck, who opens the wine festival the next day as the reigning wine queen of the village. When she disappears without a trace, they find the citizens in the same place and position as the stranger saw them the day before.

In order to find an explanation for his apparently supernatural perceptions, the stranger undertakes his own investigations in parallel with the police. In doing so, he repeatedly comes across the boy Adrian Donatius, who met him in the vineyard at the beginning and seems to know more about the events. The stranger seems to be the only one with whom Adrian can communicate after having not spoken to anyone years ago since his sister's death. During his forays through the village, Adrian's sister and the so-called Krappenmann often appear to the stranger , which raises doubts about his sanity . When trying to reconstruct what happened, the village community in the idyllic Ahr valley , whose members sometimes behave in a very mysterious way , is increasingly targeted. The ostensible harmony and wine idyll of the place is overshadowed by the conservatism of its residents, dark family secrets and perfidious competition among each other. Young people like Sophia in particular suffer from a lack of freedom and hope to escape the narrow-mindedness one day. As it turns out, Sophia led a double life as a webcam girl "Lady Wet" in order to collect money for a new beginning. However, she was murdered when she started blackmailing a villager with his secret.

Although several people seem to have a sufficient motive, the village community and finally also the police shoot at Adrian Donatius as the perpetrator, who causes unease among the other residents due to his otherness. Only the stranger believes in the boy's innocence, but does not find sufficient evidence for the murderous phantom. It is also increasingly attracting the hostility of the villagers. A race begins for Adrian's discharge. In the end, it turns out that “the hero” doesn't actually exist, but is just an imaginary alter ego of Adrian Donatius, created after his favorite comic hero , the private detective John Fox. With the support of his psychologist, Adrian created the unknown in order to be able to come to terms with the trauma of the death of his sister and the murder of Sophia. Both cases are related because Adrian's sister once observed her father Sven Donatius during the incest with his biological sister, the village teacher Iris Reichel. When she fled from her father, she fell unhappy in the river and drowned. Adrian, who had watched everything, stopped talking. Years later, Sophia discovered the incestuous relationship and began to blackmail Sven Donatius. By coming to terms with his trauma, Adrian, who has been housed in a clinic, can free himself from his condition and find his language back. With Adrian's testimony, his father can be identified as the perpetrator and arrested. In a final scene Adrian watches the ghost figures of the stranger, his sister and Sophias as they disappear into the mist of the vineyard.
