Synopsis

Carla ran away from home with great plans. She wants to go to Lyon to study fashion. At the train station all her luggage is stolen and she has to stick with Rico who offers her a job on his construction site so she can earn money to finance her journey. On the same construction site, a boat which is transformed into a bar, Lucie lives with her brother Michael. The boat is her home, where she wants to spend the rest of her life.
Lucie and Carla with their completely different concepts of life are brought together by destiny. Through their interaction Carla realizes what it means to have a place in life, for Lucie a new, bigger world opens up.
Shortly before continuing her journey Carla realizes to be pregnant. Her dream seems to be broken, because it is too late for an abortion. She cannot consult a doctor due to regulations of her health insurance. Lucie, who strongly wishes Carla to stay, proposes a contract: “You will have the baby pretending to be me, and I will take care of it”. Carla admits. Until the child’s birth both girls hide in an apartment, Michael settles down with them as a confidant. But finally, Carla does not want to leave her baby. She demands Lucie to leave her environment and her brother to go with her. The situation has to escalate before the two mothers are ready for big decisions.
