When five friends from Hamburg on a yachting trip come across a broken-down boat, full of desperate asylum seekers, in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, they decide to tow them. But the next morning the boat is gone. Five years later some of the refugees live in Hamburg and meet the Germans again, who finally learn the truth. Someone cut the rope. The revelation drives a wedge of mistrust between the friends, as they grapple with protecting themselves and doing the right thing. The refugees struggle with their desire for justice and, possibly, revenge. Old secrets come to light, relationships are shattered and lives are put in danger. And one question hangs over it all – who cut the rope?
