| Kathrin Müller-Grüss (Majorie) |
Majorie loves the ocean, but has never actually seen it. In regular therapy sessions she tries to overcome her fear of trains. When she buys a goldfish that seems to share her longing for the ocean, she slowly starts to face her past. But is her connection to the fish strong enough to go on a train and take him as his last journey to the ocean?
