Synopsis
Romania in the 1980ies. Gregor und Vali want to escape the communist regime over the Danube river. Their plan is to get to Yugoslavia and then further to Germany. The two men need each other, although they distrust one another at the same time.
While they approach the boarder, Gregor realizes that Vali did not stick to the agreement and has packed another person. First, Gregor refuses decisively to take the person along their risky intention. But as the events roll over, his own life is suddenly in the hands of the third person.
