Marine biologist and single mom Henriette Stetter has high expectations of her upcoming vacation in Florida with her 18 year-old twins Mara and Nils. This will probably be their last vacation together as the twins plan to move to Berlin. However, Henriette cannot take a break from work and brings turtle Lorelei to Florida in order to return it to the wild. There she meets Miguel Perez from Cuba who causes a lot of turmoil – legally and emotionally.
