Werner has fallen in love with Gerlind e. And that's not so easy when you're in the autumn of your life and in the middle of nowhere. This film enters into an extraordinary situation: a bunch of lively pensioners on a cruise ship sailing through exotic waters.

A love story. Ger has difficulty moving around and is hard of hearing; Hermine forgets everything and is soon to die. What do you do when nothing seems to be of any use? A delicate portrait of the dutch artist couple Ger Lataster and Hermine van Hall.
