By juxtaposing images as in an assemblage the film brings two characters together, a foreign man and a girl from a Germany's small village, that have more in common than it would be expected in the first sight: the interest for photography, the loneliness and an out of the social context life.

While seeking a partner through a video dating service, he discovers a strange VHS tape called Rent-A-Pal. Hosted by the charming and charismatic Andy, the tape offers him much-needed company, compassion, and friendship.
