Jakob and Lorenz are brothers who couldn't be more different: While Jakob is a successful, dogged star chef, Lorenz is not particularly successful in his job or financial matters, but clearly has more fun in life. One day, when he persuades his brother to visit their mother, who is suffering from Alzheimer's, the siblings set off in their car, picking up a punkette who is traveling as a hitchhiker. It is an enlightening journey for all of them through the northern German wasteland.
