## Plot

[edit]

The truck driver Hilmar offers fifteen-year-old Pinne a ride. The girl, who seems frightened and withdrawn, does not say much other than that she wants to go to the sea. At a gas station, Hilmar learns from the radio that Pinne is wanted. She has escaped from the school where she was placed. Hilmar faces a dilemma: whether to call the sheriff or not.[5]
