The young Spanish girl Victoria is new to the German capital and likes to dance the night away. After a night in the club she gets to know Sonne and his three friends. First, it appears that the party simply goes on with a little flirt. But soon it turns out that the coming night is going to be a lot more dramatic, because Sonne and his friend need to clear debts… Victoria becomes an accomplice in a bank robbery… A thrilling escape through a Berlin night that changes everything.
The extremely short, 12-page script consisted only of scene descriptions that were improvised by the actors on camera. The adrenaline-fuelled and emotionally charged film was also shot in just one camera setting, without any cuts, thus allowing the viewers to follow the story in real time.
