The video metaphorically embodies the lost in space condition experienced by young foreigners living in Berlin, all aged between 25 and 40. A condition characterized by a lack of stable bindings and anchor points and is represented through a mass of people swimming around in the middle of the ocean, each one supported by their own tyre inner-tube. The protagonists are three women and three men floating next to each other.
