KRANKE WELT

Schiller, an author, is working in an abandoned, post-apocalyptic city during a heatwave. A businessman interrupts him via Zoom, wanting access to his water. At night, on his way to the spring, Schiller passes through areas that are possibly inhabited by cannibals. A man demands water, provoking him until a fight ensues. He turns out to be Schiller’s doppelganger and dissolves into thin air. At home, Schiller receives a pre-recorded video message from the businessman who has fallen victim to the cannibals, and realises that the people he encountered were apparitions. Ignoring the possibility that he might well be the last person alive on Earth, he dives back into his work.
