Amid terror and uncertainty, German telecommunications company DT Mobilis is frantically searching for a new growth strategy. The four-member board of directors travels to the Masurian mountains to develop new solutions for the future of the world in an atmosphere of calm and seclusion. Contact with an infected supplier from Uber Eats abruptly changes the protagonists' plans. They are sentenced to forced quarantine. A momentary escape from civilization becomes a sentence of indefinite imprisonment.
