Among the last passengers to board are a fifteen-year-old girl and her father, Johannes. The relationship between the two is marked by a profound distance and a silence that hides a dark bond from the past. Throughout the journey, the protagonist observes her father, a man she barely knows, and tries to decipher who he really is.
