Story
Gregor, a reliable doctor in his thirties, has an annual sailing tradition with his younger brother Pietschi, who is spontaneous and aimless. When Pietschi suddenly disappears without a trace, Gregor becomes increasingly obsessed with finding him. As time passes with no sign of Pietschi, Gregor delves deeper into his brother's life, wearing his clothes, listening to his music, and even starting an affair with Pietschi's ex-girlfriend. This immersion causes Gregor to lose sight of his own identity, raising the question of whether he can continue being himself if one of them suddenly disappears from their mirrored existence.
