The seemingly random interactions between a group of people touched by a tragedy go under the microscope in this
drama from Austrian filmmaker
Barbara Albert.
Manu (
Kathrin Resetarits) is a woman who miraculously survives an airline crash caused by a freak storm that claims the life of every other passenger on board. Six years later, she's happily married to
Andreas (
Georg Friedrich), has a teenaged daughter named
Yvonne (
Deborah Ten Brink), and works at a supermarket -- only to die suddenly in an auto accident. Among the mourners at
Manu's funeral are her brother
Reini (
Martin Brambach) and sister
Gerlinde (
Marion Mitterhammer). Schoolteacher
Reini is infatuated with a troubled woman named
Sandra (
Bellinda Akwa-Asare), and is trying to reach out to one of his students,
Kai (
Dominik Hartel), who is haunted by the death of his mother.
Andreas becomes involved with another teacher,
Andrea (
Ursula Strauss), who also has an unhappy student,
Patricia (
Désirée Ourada), an outcast with an interest in spirituality.
Patricia strikes up a friendship with
Kai as he drifts away from his girlfriend,
Gabi (
Nicole Skala). Meanwhile,
Yvonne becomes ill and ponders her mother's fate in the hereafter, and
Gerlinde becomes involved in an emotionally destructive sexual relationship with a handicapped man.
