In the Auerhaus, an extraordinary student shared apartment in the countryside, six friends make a promise: their lives should not follow the usual pattern - birth, school, work, death. They want to make their lives something special. Above all, they want to save their best friend Frieder. Because he is not so sure why he should even be alive. This is the story of an unforgettable summer, in which the friends' struggle for happiness and ideals ultimately becomes a fight for life and death.
