In the life of TV presenter Lisa, everything revolves around her talk show, celebrities and the ratings. There is just as little room for love as there is for her mother Maria. When the 66-year-old loses her memory after a fall in her apartment and wakes up in the hospital, she can only remember that she has never been to New York and sets off immediately. Lisa goes in search of Maria with her makeup artist Fred. She struck gold on a cruise ship that was just leaving for New York. As stowaways, the three have no choice but to earn the passage. While Fred is hired as an assistant by the Greek on-board magician Costa, Lisa and Maria have to work in room service. The crossing soon takes surprising turns for mother and daughter: Maria falls in love with the charming dancer Otto, who supposedly knows her from before, and Lisa takes a liking to the widowed statistician Axel Staudach, who is traveling with his son Florian.

27-year-old Anna and Jonas, who is one year older, get to know each other through their university clique. The initial attraction leads to an unspectacular one-night stand that seems like the beginning of a light summer affair. However, the encounters between the two are also characterized by a lot of friction and provocation. Then something happens that completely changes their lives: after a party with lots of alcohol, the two have sex. Later, Anna thinks she was raped by Jonas. Anna feels traumatized and thinks she can remember her “no.” Jonas, on the other hand, remembers consensual sex. The only person Anna can initially confide in is her sister Daria, who advises her to report the crime. Eventually, those around you also find out about the accusation. Friends have to take a stand. The podcaster Kelly researches the events and tries to explore attitudes and discourses surrounding the case and its effects on victims, perpetrators and those around them.
