When Kilian left his hometown in the south of Germany to study in Berlin, he also left his two best friends Lorenz and Sommer behind. When he meets them again by coincidence during a visit to his home, their friendship seems to be revived for a brief moment. But when he opens up to them and tells them about his mental health issues, the evening takes a turn for the worse. Lorenz pokes fun at Kilian and an argument ensues, resulting in a dangerous car accident. The once so intimate friendship breaks apart when it comes to the final confrontation between Kilian and Lorenz.
