Retirement is finally here for Alex. But instead of kicking back, she plans to venture into the unknown: in a tiny house on wheels, she plans to leave everything she knows behind her.
Johann, in his mid-fifties, is searching for an escape from a job that now feels questionable and a marriage that’s grown cold – and an inherited stone house in Liguria seems a good place to do it.
Alex accepts Johann’s invitation: two not-so-young and very different individuals start the next chapter of their lives in this place of longing.

A Benedictine monastery, idyllically located by a lake. Their guest wing is well-frequented, but most of the monks are approaching biblical age. One of the younger monks has just left the monastery and started a family. Ever since, Lukas, who is in his late 30s, has also begun to question his path in life. Then Sarah appears - mindful, caring and corporeal. Lukas' fellows are urging him to take over the leadership of the monastery, but life is pulling at him, too. In order to make a decision, Lukas surrenders himself to the lake: the act of swimming allows our bodies and minds to open up.
