Charles Eismayer est l’instructeur le plus redouté de l’armée autrichienne. Mais Mario, fraîchement arrivé à la caserne, ne se laisse pas intimider. Résolu, il lui tient tête et affiche ouvertement son homosexualité, mettant à l’épreuve la vision du monde apparemment conservatrice du sergent- major, qui mène en réalité une double vie. Brusqué par le comportement provocant de Mario, Eismayer voit ses convictions s’ébranler jour après jour, et des sentiments inattendus naissent entre les deux hommes.

In his exhilarating tragicomedy, David Lapuch blends apparently disparate elements: mundane matters with meaningful ones, existentialism with comedy—and a rather unappetizing muffin with beer. Richard, a young man who leads a fairly ordinary village life, takes care of his grandfather and a sausage stand at the sports field. Within just one evening, his life becomes unhinged, and he finds out that within every ending is a beginning.

40-year-old Julia, a successful conductor, and her partner Georg are longing for a child when Dr. Vilfort offers them hope. Julia becomes pregnant after successful treatment at the fertility doctor's clinic. The birth does not go as planned and the baby is immediately taken away, leaving Julia in the dark about what has happened. When finally reunited with the child, Julia feels strangely distant. She begins to doubt whether it is really her child.
