Moussa, the only survivor from a refugee boat that has gone down rescues himself on Gerlinde’s and Hannes’ yacht. The foreigner and his plea that they smuggle him onto the European continent disunite the couple: Hannes’ solidarity battles with Gerlinde’s fear. In the field of tension of three equally valid perspectives, standpoints believed to be stable, values, and securities become increasingly fluid.
