David and Marie meet for the first time on a cold winter night in Berlin. They’re both out on the streets – she’s a prostitute and he’s been fired from his job at a junkyard for having a broken arm. One evening David ends up at Marie’s small, messy flat. In the morning he asks her to stay with him, hoping they can run away together. Even though at first she gets rid of David, Marie thinks it over and decides to go away with him. David, Marie and her dog Kurt set out on a trip marked by cheap hotels, David’s attempts to find work, and Marie’s occasional turning tricks. The bitter winter cold contrasts with their efforts to find at least some taste of happiness and the kind of home they imagine. The world, however, seems to be against them...
