The young petty criminal Dima is about to be deported from Germany when he meets the student Sarah who is working on a documentary film about the lack of opportunities available to young foreigners. She offers to let him stay in her loft - just for the sake of the film of course. Becoming aware of the attraction between them, Dima plays more than the main role in Sarahs documentary as they gradually leave the ground beneath their feet and, bit by bit, learn to fly.
