Synopsis: After many years of drug addiction, the party yuppie Jacob (Milton Welsh) is finally disillusioned. All his fears have ripped such a big hole into his life, which he couldn't fill up with all the drugs in the world. Loosing the trust of his ex-girlfriend Anne (Florencia Lamarca) and being followed by Wusil (John Engel) a dealer known for his brutality, Jacob decides to commit suicide as his last chance to escape for ever from all his problems. But during the passage between life and death he is confronted with voices of his past, who don’t want to let him go.

A Young Boy (Jacob Baerenklau) who lives in an abandoned parking garage claims to be a intermediary between the long forgotten gods and the humans on earth. He explains to Jacob that the gods once decided to clean the world from greedy and selfish people, and get rid of them, by transforming them into pigeons . And Jacob is now one of them. Being forced into this existence, he at first tries to escape. By trying to find a way out of this utopia, he slowly realizes something new in him: the will and the strength to really clean up his past. Step by step he finds himself facing his fears and changes the world to something better as he found it before. MORE...
