The early years of German reunification, an almost indescribable time when suddenly more was possible than at any time either before or since – a time when a number of restrictions were lifted from society. Lisa is faced with ruin; her father has passed away, her parents' house is literally collapsing and her savings amount to 170 Marks. She thus has nothing to lose. Anna has quit her stressful day job and now travels the country in her old Chaika looking for work as a singer. These two very different individuals meet during Lisa's first bank robbery, after which they resolve to work together. Lisa shares the loot with the needy they encounter along the way, in defiance of her new partner-in-crime's protests. Now on the run, Anna is happy about one thing however; she's now made a name for herself after all. (FilmFestival Cottbus - Festival des Osteuropäischen Films)
