Eureka Entertainment to release ALOYS, a noir-like tale of mystery and private eyes from upcoming director Tobias Nölle, on home video in the UK in a Dual Format edition, on 24 October 2016. Aloys Adorn is a middle-aged private detective who lives and works with his father. He experiences life from a safe distance, through a video camera he keeps recording 24 hours a day, and the massive collection of surveillance tapes he organises and obsessively watches at home. But when his father dies, Aloys is left on his own and his sheltered existence begins to fall apart.... After a night of heavy drinking, Aloys wakes up on a public bus to find that his camera and precious observation tapes have been stolen. Soon after, a mysterious woman calls to blackmail him. She offers to return the tapes if Aloys will try an obscure Japanese invention called telephone walking' with her, using his imagination as their only connection. As he is drawn deeper and deeper, falling in love with the voice on the other end of the phone, the woman opens up a new universe that may allow Aloys to break out of his isolation and into the real world.

Georg Friedrich stars in this Swiss drama written and directed by Tobias Nölle. The film follows private investigator Aloys Adorn (Friedrich) as he is drawn into the world of telephone walking, a Japanese concept allowing the person to imagine himself in situations described over the phone. Following his father (Karl Friedrich)'s passing, Aloys is left to run the family detective business alone. However, he refuses to accept his father's death and continues living as if he were still there with him. As he continues his daily observations of his targets, Aloys' extensive collection of surveillance tapes are stolen one day when he falls asleep on a bus. A woman (Tilde von Overbeck) calls him and blackmails him into taking part in telephone walking in exchange for the safe return of his tapes. Aloys agrees but his mind grows more fragile as he slowly loses his grip on reality.
