"Der Schatten" shows a journalist who receives an prophecy message: Norah (Deleila Piasko) wants to risk a new beginning in the Austrian metropolis. As soon as she arrives in town, she meets a beggar woman who predicts that in six weeks she will kill a man named Arthur Grimm. At first, Norah doesn't pay any attention to the incident since the name doesn't mean anything to her, but then strange things start to happen.
