Filmen viser skelsættende øjeblikke i tre personers liv. Selvom personerne er forbundet, ligger deres værdier og mål langt fra hinanden. Den intimiderende forretningsmand Alexander kæmper med sin soldaterbaggrund, og er blevet afhængig af angstdæmpende medicin for at kunne se livet i øjnene. Meryem er en anset læge, der forsøger at finde sig til rette i sit nye liv langt væk fra sit oprindelsesland. Jonas stræber efter succes på arbejdet, hvilket får konsekvenser for hans ægteskab. Fortællingen om Alexander, Meryem og Jonas portrætterer fragmenter af et moderne samfund i krise – individuelt og globalt.
