The plan of Nina and Philipp is simple and good. They want to finish school and then get married. No sex until the wedding night. However, their parents have a different plan. They want to send the two of them to America for an exchange year. The couple resists with all their might, but when Philipp learns that he could stay with a host family in Los Angeles, he becomes uncertain. LA means the Lakers, Hollywood, Malibu Beach, sun, palm trees, and the sea. Nina, on the other hand, would have to go to Denver, Colorado, to a host family with a mute son and no television. The decision to give their great love a chance through a temporary separation is made by their parents. Nina and Philipp have no choice but to comply. Once in California, Philipp meets Sally.
