Midsummer in a village in Mecklenburg. Five houses, a bus stop, cows and fields. 24-year-old Christin lives with her boyfriend Jan on his father's dairy farm. There is no sign of the spirit of optimism of the years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, not even in the young people's relationship. Christine always has her cherry liqueur to hand, and there is little to expect from the people around her. Her boyfriend's father tolerates her at best and lets her feel his disregard, while her own father has long since succumbed to drunkenness. In the sweltering heat of summer, time seems to stand still and Christin just wants to get away. She doesn't know where she wants to go or what could give her life meaning again. At the same time, an enormous curiosity simmers beneath the boredom, an irrepressible sexual longing, a hunger for something different, something new. When wind turbine manufacturer Klaus from Hamburg turns up, the young woman harbors the hope that the world might start turning again.
