SYNOPSIS

A slapstick comedy-drama about the search for identity in a world of outdated ideals. Florka (25) rarely finishes what she starts. This time, she sets herself a clear goal: to renovate her parents' camper and embark on a solo journey across Europe. A well-behaved law student, Alek, crosses her path, and despite the odds, she develops an increasingly strong bond with him. Lost by her upbringing in a hippie commune, Florka is afraid to engage in a sincere relationship. She also fails to notice the symptoms of Alek's illness, which causes him to suddenly disappear. Florka then discovers that her parents had a hand in his disappearance. She confronts them and begins to pursue a different goal: love.
