The film begins with the end: Poet Pal Krantz (Daniel Brühl) is seated in the pre-trial detention and awaiting interrogation. With his best friend, rich and self confident Günther Scheller (August Diehl), together they founded a suicide club. The judge asks for explanations... Three days before: Paul and Günther want to spend the weekend on the feudal country estate of Günther's parents in Mahlow near Berlin. They invite a few friends from the city to unrestrained celebration. Paul is fascinated by Günther's sister Hilde (Anna Maria Mühe) and falls in love with her. And first it looks in such a way, that Paul's feelings are finally answered. But Hilde loves another one. Secretly she meets with a young good-looking Hans (Thure Lindhardt) - Günther's former lover. Hans is a boy from a much lower class who works in the kitchen of a restaurant/dance club. Meanwhile the Hilde's best friend Elli (Jana Pallaske) has her eyes on Paul and wants to win him for herself, although she knows that he is in love in Hilde. In the garden of the house their celebration becomes a roller coaster because of love, desire after life and unrestrained jealousy accompanied by too much alcohol, absinthe and music that gets out of control. Is that really it, the highest point in the life? Günther and Paul are convinced of it: They want to live, in full courses and without compromises -- and they require the same in love...
