Gregor (32) is happily married and a successful doctor. He seems to have found his place in life and is not afraid of taking on responsibility. His brother Pietschi on the other hand is meandering through life spontaneously and aimlessly, with a gift for winning people over, though not for keeping them in his life. As every year, the two brothers go sailing during Pentecost. To Gregor everything appears to be as usual – until Pietschi disappears without a trace. To find out what has happened Gregor gets in touch with Pietschi’s old friends and their relatives, without revealing what is on his mind. And while Gregor is forced to realise how little he has actually known about his brother, there are hints that Pietschi might be gone forever. Gregor spends more and more time in Pietschi's apartment, while obsessively trying to grasp the fading echo of his brother’s life. When he finally realises that he might know himself even less than he knew Pietschi, he is about to get completely lost in the life of his brother.
