Jakob and Lorenz are brothers who couldn't be more different: While Jakob is a successful, dogged star chef, Lorenz may not be particularly successful in his job and financial matters, but he has obviously more fun in life. One day, when he persuades his brother to visit his mother, who has Alzheimer's disease, the siblings set off in their car and pick up a hitchhiker's Punkette. It will be an enlightening journey through the northern German wasteland for everyone.
