It tells the story of the stubborn and aggressive teenager Anke (Julia Hummer), who after her father's suicide many years ago (he drowned himself in the sea in front of the then little girl, leaving her with his dog, as shown in the opening credits) lives alone with her mother (Lena Stolze) in a small town in northern Germany. Their relationship is strained, especially since Anke blames her mother for the death of her beloved father. When she reveals that she has a relationship with the pastor (Peter Kurth) and wants to move in with him, Anke decides to run away from her home after an argument with her mother. She meets Ulf (Nic Romm), her best friend's former boyfriend and just as solitary as Anke herself, who now lives in Hamburg. His father recently passed away; he regulates the dissolution of the estate, which also includes the small motor yacht "Northern Star". Ulf offers her that she can live with him in his father's vacant house and, in return for the rent, help him restore the motor yacht. Anke's father also always dreamed of going into the world on a ship. She agrees because she sees an opportunity for her own escape here, even if she has to kill her old, beloved dog, which Ulf does not want on board. When the yacht is seaworthy and it turns out that Ulf did not mean his promise to take Anke with him seriously, she finds her own way: In the last scene you see Anke driving away alone with the yacht.
