Growing up on the grounds of one of Germany's largest psychiatric hospitals is somehow - different. For Joachim, the director's youngest son, the patients are like family. They are also much nicer to him than his two older brothers, who drive him into fits of rage.

Eine Zwille wird geladen, der Stein fliegt und klirr - das Fenster des Nachbarn geht kaputt. Ramona (Bella Lochmann) und Nico (Pola Geiger) sind Freundinnen, faule Lappen und frisch aus der Schule. Doch anstatt sich Gedanken um ihre Zukunft zu machen, lassen sie sich lieber von dem hitzigen Berliner Sommer erschlagen. Als sie einen geliebten Nachbarsvogel freilassen, müssen sie fliehen - in die politisch aufgeladene Welt, auf die sie eigentlich keine Lust haben. Ein Roadtrip durch Berlin beginnt - allerdings zu Fuß. Auf ihrer ziellosen und halbherzigen Suche nach dem entflogenen Federvieh und dem kleinen Bruder, ringen sie um ihre Freundschaft, den Glauben an sich selbst und stolpern unerwartet in andere Hoffnung gebende Lebensgeschichten.
