Actor Boris and writer Jonathan have been a couple for a long time and spend their evenings together apart: one is in bed reading scripts, the other is working at his desk in the next room. While Boris becomes increasingly immersed in rehearsals for a new film with an ambitious director and begins to confuse reality and fiction, Jonathan tries to redefine his voice as a writer. Through the couple's attempts to find the right balance between distance, closeness, trust, desire, and the fear of losing each other, Boris's niece Josie tests her limits...
Bones and Names is actor Fabian Stumm's first feature film as a director and screenwriter. With sequences full of humor and tenderness, he composes an intelligent and entertaining reflection on the nature of family, romantic, and professional relationships.
