An urban wasteland in a poor, outlying district of Berlin becomes the site of a young woman's (Marina) unconventional quest. Neglected for years due to the exorbitant price demanded by its owner, the land comes back to life when the woman plants potatoes and beans, and street children join her in helping to transform the place. As she connects with the land, she embarks on a poetic and documentary investigation of its value.
