As Schäfer settles in, Berger must navigate the impossible task of concealing his crimes while maintaining appearances. The tension builds as the two men circle each other, each aware that something is deeply wrong. Berger's carefully ordered life spirals into chaos, forcing him to confront the consequences of his greed and corruption.
