The female flamingo and the male raise their offspring together – they have a strong sense of togetherness. Fifteen-year-old Leo, who grew up in Germany with her mother, knows this. Upon discovering the identity of her biological father, she hastily heads to the coast of Northern Italy to meet a man she has never seen in her life. Meeting her father Paolo, she is confused – resentment intertwines with envy as she witnesses his care for his other daughter and his relationship with his partner. To her own surprise, she stays on in the small town with Paolo, getting to know him and forming a fragile closeness she has never experienced before, but has always longed for.

Movie is in English, Italian and German with subtitles in English.
