Synopsis

Heiko's mother Belinda suffers from keratoconus, a rare change in the cornea. She is gradually losing her sight and could soon become completely blind if she is not helped. With the cornea from a deceased donor, Belinda's sight could be regained - but such a transplant costs a lot of money, which health insurance does not cover. For Heiko, this is the beginning of an odyssey through Berlin's pub world: in order to raise the money for his mother's operation, he first reluctantly, but then with growing ambition, euro by euro, takes on the best dart players in the city. However, they pursue completely different plans and thus pull Heiko into a spiral of madness that he could not have imagined before.
