Synopsis

Willy et Hendrik sont deux amis célibataires. Mariniers, ils exploitent une péniche sans moteur qui sillonne le nord de l'Allemagne, en regardant les filles sur les ponts au-dessus d'eux et chantant des chansons. Chacun à la recherche de l'âme-sœur, ils font la cour parfois à la même fille, comme la serveuse Vera. Mais un soir, Hendrik voit une femme jeter un billet de 10 mark depuis un pont. Mystérieuse et rétive, elle finit par accepter de monter à bord de la péniche. Sa présence va transformer la vie des deux amis.
