Jim and Elise are bound to each other by an uncompromising love, excessive passion and romance, which they like to experience up to life-threatening situations. But when film director Frank Morris gets stranded in the solitude of their east-German village, things start changing for all three of them.

It is 1993 and the sleepy former East-German border town where Jim and Elise live has changed little since the German reunification. The two young people are in love, beyond that, they are bored. As Jim races his car down the deserted roads, he dreams of the perfect death: a head-on collision while passionately kissing Elise. Instead, he accidentally runs over and kills a friend, which plunges him into a depression that drives a wedge between him and his girlfriend. Jim moves in with Frank Morris, a stranger who has rented a house in town. Morris claims to be writing a film script and wants Jim to help him. Flattered by the attention, Jim grows close to Frank, arousing Elise's jealousy. Seeking to defuse the tension, Frank invites the young couple to the Eastern German coast. There, the trio's increasingly complex relationship takes an unexpected turn and the stranger, in a last minute attempt to prevent desaster, finally reveals his true identity. But time waits for noone. Live is not a movie.
