A man wanders around outside, through deserted spaces. Two women have found temporary shelter somewhere inside. Their deserted environment poses a subtle threat. Plateau is a story of an alienation that has spread from within the protagonists into the outer world. The dystopian outdoor shots were filmed in so-called shrinking cities, in town districts in the Ruhr area and in Bremerhaven, both struggling with massive numbers of unoccupied buildings.

After inheriting a remote Montana house, Jackson moves there from New York with his partner Grace, and the couple soon welcome a child.

What begins as an attempt at renewal gradually turns into an intense psychological descent, placing strain on their relationship and exposing the fragile balance between love, identity, and motherhood.

Fran likes to think about dying. It brings sensation to her quiet life. When she makes the new guy at work laugh, it leads to more: a date, a slice of pie, a conversation, a spark. The only thing standing in their way is Fran herself.
