Paul Baumer and his friends Albert and Muller, egged on by romantic dreams of heroism, voluntarily enlist in the German army. Full of excitement and patriotic fervour, the boys enthusiastically march into a war they believe in. But once on the Western Front, they discover the soul-destroying horror of World War I.

27-year-old Anna and Jonas, who is one year older, get to know each other through their university clique. The initial attraction leads to an unspectacular one-night stand that seems like the beginning of a light summer affair. However, the encounters between the two are also characterized by a lot of friction and provocation. Then something happens that completely changes their lives: after a party with lots of alcohol, the two have sex. Later, Anna thinks she was raped by Jonas. Anna feels traumatized and thinks she can remember her “no.” Jonas, on the other hand, remembers consensual sex. The only person Anna can initially confide in is her sister Daria, who advises her to report the crime. Eventually, those around you also find out about the accusation. Friends have to take a stand. The podcaster Kelly researches the events and tries to explore attitudes and discourses surrounding the case and its effects on victims, perpetrators and those around them.
