In this melancholic road movie, we follow Philip Winter, an American journalist passing through Europe while working on a report about life in the cities. On his journey, he faces the monotony of his professional and personal routine, immersed in feelings of disconnection and a search for meaning. Everything changes when, in Amsterdam, he encounters a German woman and her daughter Alice, whom he promises to help after the unexpected disappearance of the mother.
The streets of Europe become a poetic backdrop as Philip and Alice embark on a road trip through various German cities, where the little girl proves to be a sweet and insightful companion. As Philip tries to ensure Alice's safety and search for her mother, they both cross paths with eccentric characters who reflect a variety of experiences and perspectives on life.
What begins as a simple act of kindness evolves into an exploration of identity and human connection in a modern world. Through urban landscapes and an atmosphere of nostalgia, the film invites us to contemplate loneliness and the need for belonging. Philip, caught in his personal crisis, ends up forming a deep bond with Alice, confronting his own ghosts while they both strive to find their place in an increasingly complex and alienating world.
