Hans-Peter Mueller, an official of the German Federal Border, is transferred to the special use on the Ukrainian-Polish border, where he is supposed to local officials because of the new EU border trim on West format. He meets Lippa, the young Ukrainian Girl. A friendship formed. You want to get away from the small dilapidated village located in the border area, where she lives with her brother in the war with Rocki and rival smugglers themselves to the finish. And Mueller wants something, he does not want to be lonely, to have someone with whom he can talk sometimes, especially after his wife finally separated from him. He has never lived, his world, good and deallocated so far is mixed, is unexpectedly enriched. He is young again, in love, finally, risking humiliation and misery in exchange for brittle affection. Order and chaos, wealth and poverty, East and West collide. And separate the two at the end.
