Jetzt.Nicht.

His days are long, his schedule full - a high-pressure life in the marketing department of a cosmetics manufacturer. When Walter is unexpectedly laid off in his mid-forties, he loses all grip. The forced time out brings up existential questions. What should be the coordinates of life when work and performance are no longer the measure of all things? In search of answers, Walter takes refuge in the identity of another man. "Godehard Giese brilliantly plays an existence in a frozen state, on whose surface the first cracks are showing." (Süddeutsche Zeitung)
