Paula goes through a deep period of mourning after her little brother Tim drowns in the sea in Trieste. Plagued by feelings of guilt, her will to live seems extinguished. When she meets the old curmudgeon Helmut, who wants to take his ex-wife's urn to Italy, she finally sees a glimmer of hope again: to go to Trieste, to the beach where her brother died. Only there will she finally be able to feel close to him again. During the adventurous journey, an unexpected friendship develops with Helmut - and a new zest for life awakens.

Based on the novel of the same name by bestselling author Jasmin Schreiber, director and screenwriter Eileen Byrne tells a heart-wrenching story about death and staying alive in Mariana Trench. In her remarkable feature film debut, Byrne unites the well-known German character actor Edgar Selge and the Swiss shooting star Luna Wedler as an unequal and heart-warming duo in front of the camera.
