Abendland plot
Anton, who has been living with Leni for years, cannot escape the threat, fear and doubt that seems to permeate the world at the end of the twentieth century. He sinks deeper and deeper into lethargy. Leni still believes in a life that is not ruled by work and materialism. For her, love, trust and sensuality are the counterparts of the oppressive world around her and the atmosphere of doom that Anton has spun around her. In the film, Anton and Leni spend the night independently of each other, which inevitably leads to a confrontation with themselves and their loneliness. Their journey through the night is crisscrossed by several encounters, which bring their deepest desires and feelings to the surface.
