Otto and Louna meet every morning in the train to Paris. Otto is unemployed and hawks a street newspaper for the homeless. Louna works in a hairdresser’s salon and lives in the apartment of an old woman threatened with eviction. But both are fed up with a life without prospects, and one day they decide enough is enough. In the company of Ali, a young runaway immigrant with intellectual interests, they steal a car and hit the road. On the run, their wanderings take on meaning when they come across a wounded stork at the side of a road. It comes from Algeria and has lost its family. They adopt it, name it Mohammed, and decide to get it false identity papers and smuggle it into Germany where it can join its relatives.
