Silvia
Jonas and Silvia are enjoying a wonderful sailing holiday in the Mediterranean sea. But while sailing through the night, far away from land, they discover an overloaded refugee boat, close to sinking. They are shocked, but too afraid to help. So they call the coast guards but lose the boat out of sight into the darkness of the night. In the early morning they find themselves drifting through an ocean of dead bodies. The refugee boat has sunk. Jonas and Silvia manage to pull a few survivors out of the cold water: Syrians. This rescue marks the beginning of a dramatic conflict between the hopes and dreams of the refugees, and the fears and ideals of the holiday sailors.
Apothekerin
Patriarch and entrepreneur August Manzl is terminally ill. As his four grown-up children are all spoiled and sluggish, he comes up with a rather cynical idea to determine the future leader of the families empire: whoever of his children shows the courage and willpower to end his suffering within the next week will become the sole heir - and simultaneously proof the skills necessary to succeed in a modern business world. Between the children a murderous competition evolves.

평범한 삶을 꿈꾸는 천재소년, 자신이 원하는 삶의 주인공이 되다. 박쥐 같은 예민한 청각과 거장 못지 않은 피아노 실력, 다섯 살 나이에 온갖 난해한 학문을 공부하는 비투스는 마치 다른 행성에서 온 것만 같은 아이다. 남들이 갖지 못한 특별한 재능에 아이에 대한 부모들의 기대는 점점 커져만 간다. 특히 부모들은 거장 못지않은 피아노 연주 실력을 지닌 아이가 피아니스트가 되기를 간절히 원한다. 하지만 천재소년 비투스가 좋아하는 것은 홀로 사는 할아버지와 함께 보내는 시간. 하늘을 날고 싶어 하며, 평범한 생활을 꿈꾸는 비투스. 결국 그는 극적인 반전을 통해서 자신이 원하는 삶의 주인공이 된다.
