In a tranquil village, the two students Kerstin and Selina disappear one after the other. Both are 16, have unstable parents and were undergoing therapy at the “Herzland” riding stable. While the residents don't believe there was a crime, Julia Durant suspects the kidnapper is among them.
It is a horrifying sight when the officials arrive at the Old Main Bridge in Frankfurt: there, hanging on a rope tied in a butterfly knot, is the corpse of a woman anointed in rose oil. This macabre handwriting immediately reminds Julia Durant of the serial killer Dietmar Gernot, whom she put behind bars years ago. Has he possibly found a copycat and who will the perpetrator target next?
“9 Days Awake”, the film adaptation of the eponymous novel by Eric Stehfest. Jannik Schümann plays Eric, a junkie who lives to party. He is addicted to the one drug that makes him feel invincible- "like Jesus and the terminator at the same time." When he is accepted to an acting school in Berlin, he tries to reconnect with his great love Anja (Peri Baumeister), change his life, and strive to be better. But numerous conflicts and issues follow him, leaving him to retreat back to his old ways as other situations escalate.
