The plot centers around Gabi, a hairdresser hailing from the Baltic coast, who has her heart set on becoming East Germany's first-ever female jockey.[2] To achieve her goal, Gabi relocates to Berlin, where she weds Freddy, a motorcyclist. Her aspirations take shape when a benevolent stableman permits her to train in secret. Nevertheless, her attempts are met with rejection by the head coach at Hoppegarten.[2]
