action

Train driver Lionel lives with his daughter Joséphine in a suburb of Paris. Joséphine's mother Mechthilde was German; she died when Joséphine was little, so the girl grew up alone with her father. My circle of friends includes taxi driver Gabrielle, who lives in the same house as father and daughter and has been in love with Lionel for a long time. Joséphine has also had a long acquaintance with Noé, who travels a lot and has not changed anything in the apartment since the death of his parents.

Joséphine is about to finish her studies and Lionel in particular can no longer suppress the thought that one day his daughter will leave him. He tries to dampen her caring for him. When he comes home drunk from a party at work where his colleagues said goodbye to old René - but he did without a few glasses of rum during the rum drinking game - he makes it clear to Joséphine that she is not about him to take care of. Later he picks her up from her night shift at the Virgin Store, because he is not comfortable when she is out alone at night. It soon becomes apparent that father and daughter are starting to go their own way. Joséphine finds an admirer in fellow student Ruben and realizes that she actually loves Noé. On a concert excursion by Noé, Joséphine, Gabrielle and Lionel, all of them stop in Gabrielle's taxi and end up drenched in the rain in a café. Joséphine and Noé dance together and Noé kisses them. Although Joséphine evades him in the following years, she comes to him when he announces that he wants to emigrate to Gabon.

Lionel sees the changes in his life and stays calm. Just as calmly, he listens to the desperate René, who becomes depressed in his retirement. He misses work and is desperate that he is indeed old but healthy as he would have much rather died at a young age. After all, it is Lionel who finds the dead René lying on the rails during an evening trip.

One day Lionel and Joséphine go to Lübeck and visit Mechthilde's sister. They later look after Mechthilde's grave and spend the night by the sea. The big day of the marriage of Joséphine and Noé comes quietly. Lionel gives his daughter a necklace that belonged to her mother. The celebration after the wedding is significant enough for Lionel to play 35 rum and actually drink 35 small schnapps.
