Johannes Rettenberger es una persona introvertida que pasa sus últimas días en la cárcel preparándose como un gran atleta. Cuando sale se presenta a los diferentes campeonatos nacionales en su país, Austria, donde aparece como la gran revelación local. Una misteriosa fuerza, una gran capacidad de sacrificio parece que le empujan a ganar, pero de dónde proviene esa superación es un misterio. Mientras consigue pasar inadvertido en su reintregración en la sociedad, aprovechará sus cualidades para seguir haciendo lo que antaño, robar bancos. Una historia sentimental o la sombra del agente de la condicional serán algunos de los elementos que puedan truncar su camino. (FILMAFFINITY)
They're young. They're hungry for life. And they've left the cold, gray North behind for fun and adventure on a Mediterranean island. Elisa: rich, spoiled, fleeing from daddy and his stifling upper-class morals. Richie: the sexy drifter for whom every woman is a potential meal ticket; Florian: sensitive, gentle, the type not only girls gravitate to; Daniel: stuck between adolescence and small-mindedness. But even in paradise there are some dark corners that never get any sun. It's where you can lose your way, or your bearings... where you can discover love or refuse to see it... where you realize that you haven't really left the cold, gray North behind – but that it's inside you - and that this is real life...
Johannes, a new assistant at the university, is asked to provide reports on an Algerian colleague - who is suspected of being a sleeper. He refuses, but the seed of doubt has been planted. A fragile friendship which is overshadowed by professional and emotional competition eventually leads to betrayal.
