About the film

Trojan, a professional criminal who has been in hiding for 12 years, returns to Berlin. But time has not stood still: old contacts are now gone and credit cards are all that's left instead of cash to steal. Trojan is offered a job to steal a painting by the famous Romantic painter Caspar David Friedrich from a museum. He takes the job, but it soon becomes clear that the thief has a different plan, and Trojan is no longer concerned with money but with saving his life. This is a gangster story that plays with different genres, set in an apocalyptic atmosphere in Berlin.
