Victoria

In the heart of Berlin, at an early hour of 04:00, after enjoying her night out at a club, Victoria, portrayed by Laia Costa, decides it’s time to head home. As she makes her way to the exit, a group of four young men, including Sonne who is played by Burak Yigit, are denied entry to the club. Upon leaving, she encounters one of them, and after a brief chat, Sonne convinces her to join him and his friends—Boxer, Blinker, and Fuss—for a drink.

Their evening takes an unexpected turn as they attempt to buy some beer, only to find the clerk dozing off. Seizing the opportunity, Sonne hints at leaving with the stolen beer, leading the group to a rooftop where they typically hang out. However, Victoria ultimately departs early to prepare for her café job opening at 07:00, with Sonne graciously escorting her.

At her café, she offers Sonne a warm drink, but soon after, the boys return to pick him up. Leaving her behind, they impulsively steal a parked car. In an ironic twist, they rush back as Fuss is too intoxicated to manage alone. Amidst Boxer’s insistence to have Victoria join their crew, she agrees and takes the wheel.

A fateful encounter follows when they meet a gangster, a protector of Boxer during his prison days, who demands their assistance in robbing a bank as payment for his past favors. Initially hesitant, Boxer eventually acquiesces under pressure when the gangster takes Victoria hostage. They meticulously prepare for the heist, but chaos ensues the moment Victoria accidentally switches off the engine while trying to escape, leading to a frenzied getaway.

Back at the club where their adventure began, they briefly experience a romantic moment before being abruptly expelled. As dawn breaks, panic sets in when they realize that they left Fuss sleeping in the car, only to return to find it discovered by the police. This triggers a high-stakes chase as they flee from the authorities. During the turmoil, Blinker is shot, and Boxer sustains a leg injury in the fray.

Desperate for shelter, Sonne and Victoria find refuge in an apartment building, where they resort to threats to secure safety. Surrounded by the police, the situation escalates as Victoria persuades the wife of a resident to lend her their baby as a diversion. They cleverly evade the police after leaving the baby at a store, only to find themselves at a hotel.

Here, a tragic turn of events unfolds when Sonne reveals that he has sustained a gunshot wound and urges Victoria to take the money and escape. Heartbroken, she watches him succumb to his injuries, leaving her to face the world alone as she exits the hotel, grappling with the chaos of the night that irrevocably changed their lives.
