The young adult Emil grows up in a conservative family in a small town in the 1960s. Because his father wants to make him a "real man," it is not easy for Emil to accept his own personality and therefore homosexuality. He only finds refuge in art, mainly painting.

A worried father and his teenager daughter face inexplicable, threatening incidents when their car unexpectedly breaks down in the supposedly deserted woods.

Searching aimlessly, Stine moves through the overstimulated city flowing by. Passing by seemingly everyday, yet strange occurrences, the initially subtle, then proliferating abstract visual language with experimental elements shows a real world in which reality and pain, reality and chaos of thought are mixed, in which it is so difficult to let go.
