"From where you leave, hardly anyone understands why you leave. And where you go, no one understands who you are."
Filmmaker Stella Traub accompanies her little brother during his last four weeks in their former home village. He wants to go to Berlin, catch up on his A-levels, study - while he spends his last summer days with the friends he will leave behind, the filmmaker wonders whether she herself has ever arrived. A suitcase, ships on the Neckar and the question of whether and how one can leave a precarious social background behind.
