"Frontalwatte" is like running against a hard wall and falling down softly. Franz, Adrian and Anastasia stumble through a pointless world. They kill time by viewing apartments, jaw operations, incest and poetry slams. Their search for identity becomes a search for the best fitting role.
El film se centra en Michael, que llega a Berlín a visitar a su ex-novia Gabi cuando un terrible virus se empieza a propagar por la ciudad de manera vertiginosa, convirtiendo a las personas en maniacos homicidas sin control.
