One could say of Martha's life that it's well-balanced, fulfilling-happy. She enjoys her teaching job, has a group of loyal, loving friends and, above all, she has Paul. The man she loves and has been living with for several years now. With Paul at her side, the positive, energetic Martha has no fear of the future. Then two policewomen show up at her door, and with just a few words tear her life apart. The man Martha has been living with is a phantom - a presence that seems to have glided out of her life without leaving a trace - his life a lie. As she tries to cope, she meets Alexander, and a simple, single gesture of his hand suffices to remind her of Paul. But can Alexander fill the void? Winner of the European Cinema Label at Berlinale 2011 for its "economical story-telling (and) humour alongside strong emotions".
