    • Samir is part of a social circle of friends. One evening, his friend Basil suddenly leaves the group and doesn’t return. Shortly afterwards, Samir’s night shift begins, he gets into a cab and we follow him for 24 hours: he sets off on a road trip through Berlin at night, one eye always on his smartphone to show him the way. The next day, while searching for Basil, Samir meets people who make him more and more aware of his dwindling existence. When he realizes that he can’t get anywhere on his own, the mysterious Henry appears and offers him a solution that requires sacrifice.
