The sun is setting on couples Rico and Eva and Friedrich and Julia's forest road trip. Tight bonds have formed across the group, none more so than between free-spirited Rico and vertical thinker Friedrich, who is coming to terms with a side of his sexuality that had previously remained in the shadows. As the foursome drink, party, swim and while away the hours by a picturesque lake, the food supplies dwindle, and the sheen starts to come off their idyllic escape.

In 2020, Toni, Mia, Matze, Pauli, and Elena decide to isolate themselves in a holiday home - and spend a nice time together despite the restrictions imposed by the pandemic. But gradually the initial euphoria makes room for everyday boredom and unhealthy ways of dealing with isolation, which threaten to escalate. And the attempt to retain a certain feeling of freedom is repeatedly thwarted by existential fears.
