Up and coming bank employee Frederik Feinermann leads a settled life. But an incident will entirely disrupt his well-organized life. A client whose loan Frederik has canceled shoots himself in front of Frederik. After this incident Frederik gradually starts to loose it and begins revealing a dark side he had been repressing for a long time; he hangs out with his old gang, he goes back to the rock ’n’ roll scene for which he once had a passion. The only thing that gives him hope is Nadine, the love of his youth, with whom he dreams of building up a new life. But as he tries to win her back he makes a big mistake. The director has proved his talent with this first film, a psychological drama with a good dose of violence and humor, and awards from the Max Ophuls Film Festival.
