Official Selection, 2014 Berlin International Film Festival Panorama.

A feverish thriller that unites two powerhouse actors: Eric (Jürgen Vogel, The Wave) is a motorcycle mechanic who leads a quiet life with his girlfriend Julia and her daughter. But his bucolic and almost perfect routine is disturbed when Henry (Moritz Bleibtreu, Run Lola Run), a strange character, begins to appear in his workshop and Eric is the only one who can see him. Henry insists on provoking Eric until he's at the brink of insanity when even more shadowy figures start to appear. They start to threaten Eric and his family to do as they say. Increasingly confused, Eric has no option other than to trust Henry. Rio de Janeiro International Film Festival
