Mark comes back home to Berlin after working away from home for some time. Anna, his wife, wants to leave him. He thinks she is having an affair with Heinrich, but Heinrich says she left him for someone else, too. In a very tense and neurotic atmosphere, Mark finally understands that her new lover is not human… A stunning drama where human and non-human beings mingle and develop troubling and wonderful presences, always in the shadow of the Berlin wall…
