Nora is fourteen and lives with her parents in a quiet Berlin suburb. She is a romantic introvert who is constantly retreating into her own enchanted dreamworld. Her parents, Anette and Uwe, are preoccupied with their own problems: Anette takes up her studies again and Uwe struggles to keep his business going. When Anette's former lover Thomas moves in next door with his family, the already fragile foundations of Nora's family are rocked. Thomas, good-looking and charming, is a failed actor and mountaineer. Nora immediately falls head over heels in love with him. He represents everything her father lacks: savoir-vivre, vitality, worldliness and strength. Uwe can hardly bear to see how everything now revolves around his former archrival. While Anette succumbs to an affair with a fellow student and Uwe breaks off his ties with his business partner, Nora gives free rein to her infatuation with her attractive neighbour. Things come to a head between Uwe and Thomas at a dinner party. The veneer of family bliss is under threat and Nora understands that maybe her wistful desires aren't compatible with reality ...
