At the end of the race
Jonas Widmer is a cook at a restaurant in Bern. As soon as he is no longer behind his establishment and his stoves, his real passion is to run. His daily training led him to become one of the best cross-country runners in Switzerland. But that is not enough. His Grail? To be the youngest winner of the famous Langenfeld military marathon. So Jonas seems to have a peaceful life alongside his girlfriend Simone. Yet, behind this standard picture, there is great suffering. Jonas can’t mourn the suicide of his brother, who was his pillar and accomplice. His disappearance haunts him. He's nightmarish. Only run peacefully. But it's just a placebo. The athlete can no longer manage the wickedness that beats him. Between his work, his sports performances and Simone’s ultimatums about the evolution of their relationship, Jonas feels oppressed from all sides. The misunderstood in pain of affection and loss of identity darkens a little more every day in emotional distress. He becomes a prisoner of his inner confinement, due to past frustrations and childhood traumas, without anyone noticing. This distress must be alleviated. In addition to running at night, as a new challenge, he began to steal sacks out of hand. The adrenalin he feels is transformed into an aggressive impulse that is as anxious as it is galvanizing and soothing. It needs to start over and push further. From simple robberies to repeated robberies, he turns to violent acts. Jonas will then lead a race against the clock with himself. Convinced of being a more than guilty victim, he plunges into an infernal spiral that leads him to murder. The top cook and athlete in the day becomes a serial killer at night.
