The extraordinary story of Ilse and Fritz Priesner, who have been walking their path together for almost 60 years—far from conventional social norms. In the early 1980s, they leave the Mühlviertel region of Upper Austria with their three young sons and set off for India. The trip becomes an adventure playground. Even at an advanced age, Ilse and Fritz continue to shape their lives on their own terms. The film is a love letter to freedom, courage, and a partnership that prefers to set off rather than stand still.
