Duo
Sara and Marie are in their mid-twenties and have a band with which they play in small bars and on club stages in the region. For some time now, the two friends' hobby has increasingly become their profession. In spring, they travel together to a remote vacation home to record a demo tape. Once there, they realize that there is no electricity in the house to power the electric guitar and piano. In their enforced free time, it soon becomes clear that their individual ideas about the future of the band have been drifting apart for some time and the former dream of joint success is casting an ever greater shadow over their long-standing friendship.
