The construction site of a luxury building project at night: The ambitious construction manager Lutz has hired illegal construction workers to save costs. But a tragic accident occurs. The next day, a meeting with investors is suddenly disrupted by 14-year-old Irsa, who is looking for her father. While Lutz senses an opportunity to make his mark on a multi-million dollar project, Irsa's desperation keeps driving her towards him. To keep her off his construction site, he decides to take her away. On their journey together, a bond develops, marked by closeness and distance, guilt and responsibility.
