The airport, a melting pot of various symptoms of our times. In this sanitised place, the promise of beautiful faraway destinations contrasts with the omnipresence of procedures and controls. A scene of transience and nostalgia, where globalisation meets solitude. Against a backdrop of complex machinery, the social strata interweave and the destinies of the protagonists overlap.

A road movie about a dropout who leaves himself completely to chance. A parable about freedom, self-determination and the poetry of an undefined life.

The two washed-up TV stars Micki and Ginger and the unemployed physicist Reno try to kidnap a young woman. But one of the three kidnappers suddenly doubts the value of the money and drives his accomplices mad. The kidnapped woman is already missing. Three children from a good family are looking for their sister: the dutiful Junior, who counts up his day in seconds, his brother Adrian, who, by contrast, thinks life is one big family outing, and Sophia, the artist, who never finds the real thing in life.
