Otmar (Bennik Gehring), Mats (Otto Emil Koch) and Leonie (Cara Magdalena Vondey) see a bright beam in the sky in the dark forest at night and discover a large crater with a metallic object in it. In no time, word of this phenomenon spreads throughout the village; and precautions are immediately taken against an impending alien invasion. Marie (Katharina Wackernagel) can only shake her head and promptly finds the rest of a joint in the forest. Did the children just imagine it all?

Marie has to ask herself what the man is up to and what in the devil’s name is going on with the villagers.
