The story
Electronics engineer Joachim Ebling buys a mobile phone and begins receiving strange calls meant for someone else. After hesitating, he pretends to be that person. Film star Ralf Tanner suddenly stops receiving calls and sees an opportunity to escape his fame. Terminally ill Rosalie confides in an organization that carries out euthanasia, though she remains hesitant. Meanwhile, writer Leo Richter travels around South America to work on his next book, accompanied by his friend Elisabeth, who fears becoming a character in one of his stories. Blogger Mollwittz, by contrast, longs to appear in one.
