Fünf-Uhr-Schatten plot
Eduard is a loner who expresses his feelings in sentimental poems and does not believe that he can exert much influence on the course of things himself. Julia is convinced that she must fight for everything she wants. Fünf-Uhr-Schatten is set during the twenty-four hours after Eduard and Julia broke up. They decide to meet one last time. Their journey through the night is also a journey beyond the limits of their emotions and expectations. The film is made up of separate, almost self-contained episodes of encounters and events. At the end of their journey, Eduard and Julia decide to continue together: in the end, trust is greater than doubt.
