Where does the plastic waste dropped in European rivers go? Filmmaker Steffen Krones' personal curiosity turns into a research project. Together with engineers and scientists, Steffen traces plastic waste from his home city of Dresden, along the Elbe River, all the way to Norway. Will the buoys really wash ashore somewhere in the Arctic? Will GPS data confirm suspicions that there are links between German rivers and the Arctic Circle? The film takes us on a scientific adventure to show how we are part of a cycle in which everyone has the power to make change.
