Passengers blocked by a blizzard in an airport on the 60th parallel. During the prelude Wim, a fugitive war criminal, recognises a certain Uwe Straub among the passengers. Knowing the man is carrying compromising documents, he follows him and kills him in the toilets. Rudy, who has long been hunting Wim, has witnessed this and starts a conversation with him. Anja is taking Maria on holiday to Miami to help her to forget a man. During the night, when everyone is asleep, she secretly confesses her love. Doctor Wittkop, an old, bemused scholar, is preparing a lecture on Einstein's brain, which he has just acquired. An old woman, a wanderer, a stewardess, a voice from an airport loudspeaker that utters strange phrases … destinies meeting whilst awaiting a hypothetical departure.
