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. The girls get scolded by their supervisor for communicating with West Germans who are considered as enemy.
