A bittersweet road movie about three working-class Hamburg friends navigating the threshold between youth and adulthood, anchored by warmth and the melancholy of impending separation.

The Hamburg friends Walter, Ricco and Floyd take each day as it comes between the estates of tower blocks and fast food restaurants. All three are in their early twenties and are dreaming of another life when Floyd suddenly takes a job on a freighter going to Singapore.
