André is a nomad at heart but, as he reaches the age of 27, he starts to think that it's time to settle down. With his brother Armand, he is preparing for the inauguration of a bungee tower, his first business venture. Suddenly, his girlfriend Kim calls from Istanbul to tell him that she is pregnant and that she's decided to have an abortion. André promptly decides that this is a sign for him to start a family and he sets out to meet Kim in Istanbul to try to change her mind. As he travels through Italy and the Eastern bloc, André's encounters initiate a journey of self-discovery.
