In 1988, two inseparable teenage twin sisters from East Germany, Doreen and Isabel travel outside the country for their first time. They visit a summer sports camp on the bank of lake Balaton in Hungary training for a sculling championship. They also travel to a part of the Soviet block. After missing their bus, the sisters accept a lift from five young men including Arne and Nico from Hamburg in West Germany who were holidaying.
