The unsuccessful toy salesman Jakob meets his childhood sweetheart Marie again after years. He is still in love, and due to a misunderstanding, Marie believes that Jakob is a successful photographer. As he realizes that Marie has a completely different view of the successful Jakob, he begins to tell one white lie after another. With the help of his work colleague and his friend, he weaves a web of lies, but in doing so he becomes increasingly distant from himself.
