Johann works as a guard at the Kunsthistorisches Art Museum in Vienna. His solitary routine revolves around observing both art and visitors, providing him with a peaceful if somewhat monotonous life. One day, Anne, a Canadian woman, visits the museum, looking somewhat lost and preoccupied. Struggling with her own personal crisis, she has come to Vienna to care for a distant relative who is in a coma. Her relative is her only connection to the city, leaving her feeling isolated and vulnerable.

Johann and Anne strike up an unexpected friendship, finding solace in each other's company. They explore the museum's vast collection together, sharing observations about art, life, and their personal experiences. Their conversations open up new perspectives for both of them, intertwining their individual stories with the timeless art surrounding them. Through quiet moments and reflective dialogue, they form a bond that helps them navigate the complexities of their lives.
