action
The blonde Anne, around 30, and the much younger, dark-haired Benjamin, almost still a child, meet one day in the city of Munich. A flirtation develops from the first visual touch, and from the flirtation a tender love develops. But soon dream and reality, reality and wishful imagination become blurred. Both young people experience in their imaginations the different ways of getting to know and finding each other, which do not always have to be congruent. Fearing that “great love” might not exist at all, they project their longing for it into their dreams, which seem to reveal completely different possibilities. The fear of failure, of the unattainability of one's own dreams, appears great, fantasy and reality begin to blur. In the end, Anne and Benjamin meet again at Munich Central Station - whether they will really find each other in reality remains to be seen.
