Johanna has to tell her mother Ursula that she has not been accepted to take her final exams. She joins Ursula on a short vacation to Piecht, in order to catch her at a quiet moment. Ursula, who does not want to admit that her daughter is growing up, is actively looking for a substitute community, and finds a direct kinship in Piecht. It becomes more and more difficult for Johanna to stay in touch with Ursula, until finally her non-admission to the final exams becomes the least of her problems.
