This is quite a complex thriller about "Luis" (Fernando Tielve) who heads to Berlin as a relatively young, open but naive young man. He is soon exposed to the grittier parts of the city and to dangerous and predatory scenarios, meeting the deceptively charismatic "Viktor" (Marco Mandic) as he and some new friends he has met try to search for their missing brother (whom "Luis" bears a considerable resemblance too). Now we descend into a spiral of self-feeding temptation as he slowly loses control - and his sense of reality. The two lead performances are well delivered and it's tautly directed with an entirely satisfactorily inconclusive ending.
