Every seven years, Bergenstadt, a small town in northern Hesse, turns upside down for a three-day festival in which the town's boundaries are walked, and far more boundaries are crossed. Chasing happiness, the characters travel from Berlin and Cologne to the Hessian provinces, and from there to a swingers' club in Frankfurt. Supposed certainties soon slip away, for the ice on which their plans for life were built is thin, and people go wild until everyday life catches them again.
