A woman from the upper middle class impulsively leaves her boring husband and travels down through Germany with a truck driver. Back home in the small town, the husband tries to cover up his wife's disappearance from their son. Although a romantic relationship has developed between the woman and the truck driver, she has nevertheless realized the importance of home and of solving problems on the spot rather than running away from others or herself out of fear of not being able to cope.
