This unusual road-movie set in the Polish-German-Czech border region begins with a spectacle common for this area. The hero meets his Czech partner at the roadside and, as usual, concludes a business deal with an agreed measure of alcohol. Satisfied with the transaction, he sets off for home. Then a dog scampers out onto the road which he accidentally runs over, and his life is suddenly made more complicated for him by its twelve-year-old owner. First they spend a long time looking for a suitably dignified burial site for the dog, but then it turns out that the girl is actually on the run. Although she tells him one lie after another, the man begins to feel a certain responsibility for her. The more the girl fills him with distrust and continues to cause trouble, the more this forty-year-old with no family and seemingly no scruples, finds himself growing fond of her. Particularly since, in her helplessness, she counters his every inquiry – she also lacks emotional ties and a sense of belonging. The atmosphere of the ride through the summer landscape is intensified by the border scenery – a world of rootlessness, without positive values, but one which this unlikely pair manage to discover and appreciate – at least for themselves.
