Overview

One morning, Bernhard wakes up without his nose. When his wife Sabine notices that other objects around the house have gone missing too, she starts her own investigation, trying to make sense of the strange events. Bernhard, meanwhile, turns his gaze outward, following an uncertain trail into the night sky that only he seems to see. In a web of red thread, blinking lights, and flickering stars, the two search, each in their own way, for an answer to the inexplicable disappearance of their world.
