When Johnny Pichler turns his back on the safety of the West and ventures into Eastern Europe, he follows the summons of love. Johnny, the stoical money courier, has set off in quest of Shirley, an enigmatic blonde who has found unhappiness in hotel rooms. Instead he finds her twin sister, the taxi driver Jana, held hostage by her own past in the Ukrainian city of Lviv, and Ignaz, a hapless East German caught on the wrong foot by the advent of post-communism. The three of them embark on an odyssey of the emotions which continues until the blue moon rises over distant Odessa.
