Nike Rabenthal shoots her first motion picture: a road movie featuring three young women – Eva, Josephine and Laura – travelling Italy in search of the meaning of life. On their journey, they meet a monk, a fisherman and a philosopher. While Eva is a film star, Josephine and Laura are on set for the first time. Nike’s father, Abraham Rabenthal, is the producer. Since he is denied further funding during the shooting, the monk must also act the part of the fisherman and he himself must play the role of the philosopher.
