Lena is a woman as many know her: committed, strong, reliable - but constantly at the limit. As a mother with a full-time job and permanent worker, she juggles a life full of to-dos day after day. Always with the feeling: Only if it is perfect and constantly performs is it valuable. When her body pulls the ripcord, life sends her on a journey. Reluctantly, she gets into the old van named Berta and drives off towards Italy. Between mishaps, pasta and unexpected encounters, a well-planned trip turns into a summer full of surprises. Lena begins to understand: she doesn't have to do anything to be lovable. It is not a burden - but a gift! A healing story for all those who often give too much - and finally want to find themselves again.
