A young director Kai plans to film four of her artist friends in Berlin in a half-documentary, half-narrative way, but things do not go as planned. One of the artists suddenly disappears and another refuses to join the production. The director wants to stick to her art direction concept, but is always butting heads with her professional cinematographer.
In the end, the film turns into the director’s own experiences and the process of failing.
