See the most agreed on films →Over the course of a single day, a young law school dropout drifts through the streets of Berlin. He wanders from encounter to encounter, running into old acquaintances, potential love interests, and strangers, all while grappling with a sense of aimlessness and alienation. His journey is a series of minor, often awkward or comedic episodes that collectively paint a portrait of post-university disillusionment. He is forced to confront his own lack of direction and the growing gap between his expectations and the reality of his life.
