In this drama, the 18-year-old orphan Peter comes to Berlin. He grew up in a children's home and his future prospects were not good from the start, even in the GDR in 1979.
Peter not only has to change his job several times and ends up in prison for a while. No, above all he gets entangled in love affairs with various women. There are several bitter separations. And not only Peter himself, but numerous children grow up without parents or fathers.
The material is told in a haunting and atmospherically dense manner. Melancholy and pessimism always gain the upper hand. Although the actions of each person are understandable, they cannot improve their situation. Peter uses a small remote-controlled model sailing ship as a sign of hope for a better future. Likewise, motorcycling promises a bit of freedom. But everything fails, but it's very nice to see everyone doing it.
