The impact of technology in our lives -- and how it can draw people apart as easily as it brings them together -- provides the subtext for this drama from German writer/director Rudolph Thome. Venus Siebenberg (Sabine Bach) is a well-known novelist who has made an unusual agreement with her publisher Hans Neumann (Vladimir Weigl): Venus will have a webcam installed in her study so her fans can watch as she works on her latest book. Unbeknownst to Venus or her husband Max (Roger Tebb), computer expert Herbert (Rolf-Peter Kahl) has also placed hidden cameras in several other parts of their home so that their lives can be followed 24 hours a day. Venus flirts with film producer Bernhard (Andre Meyer), and later edges into an affair with Fabrizio (Guntram Brattia), while Neuman's teenage daughter Isabelle (Kathleen Feidler) uses a webcam of her own to send a private strip-tease show to Venus' son Thorsten (Markus Perschmann), leading him to ask for a camera of his own in order to return the favor. After Bernhard and Hans have an argument regarding film rights to the book, a drunken Bernhard ends up in Venus' bed, where she lets him sleep off his bender but doesn't touch him. When Thorsten sees the webcam broadcast of Bernhard sleeping with his mother the next morning, he immediately tells Max, who refuses to believe that her relationship with the producer is merely platonic.
