"Comprising three loosely connected stories united primarily by place--Berlin--and time--a day and evening during a visit to the city by the Pope, 'Nachtgestalten' focuses on the lives of people living at the fringes of German society. Hanna and Victor are both homeless and alcohol-dependent. After receiving some money the pair roam the streets looking for a hotel that will accept them for the night. Jochen is a farmer from the country looking for a good time. He meets Patty, an adolescent drug-addicted prostitute, who exposes him to the underbelly of the city. Hendrik Pesche is a harried businessman who encounters Feliz, a young refugee from Angola stranded at the airport. Filled with remorse after mistakenly accusing the boy of stealing his wallet, he sets out to reunite him with his family. The characters develop unlikely friendships during the long cold night, their paths crisscrossing as they traverse the bleak city."
