60 Zoom – It’s Always About Getting Closer Wanda is a call girl living in Berlin. Though she doesn’t know it, her shy neighbor Waller is constantly watching her through the viewfinder of his digi-camera. Waller uses the videotapes to blackmail her customers – and regularly slips part of the proceeds into Wanda’s mailbox. One day, Wanda and Waller meet – by chance – in the hallway. When Waller tries to probe into her life, Wanda turns him away. She has enough problems of her own. Her husband is blackmailing her, using their son as a hostage to force her to turn tricks for him. But Waller persists, and when he finds out her story, he proclaims himself to be her guardian angel. He promises her a new, better life. The first thing he does is to break her out of her life as a prostitute – against her own will. Then he takes her on one final trip: Together, they pay a visit to Wanda’s former customers, one by one, and blackmail them again. This time, however, they demand a much higher price: For the better life they have in mind, they will need a lot of money.
