There is no honesty among thieves.
A recently released ex-con drifts through Munich’s underworld, reconnecting with old acquaintances while becoming entangled in crime once again. His relationships with two women pull him in conflicting directions, blurring the line between desire, loyalty, and betrayal. The story unfolds as a bleak portrait of alienation and inevitability in a cold, urban landscape.
