For television presenter Lisa Wartberg her job is the most important thing in life. That changes, however, when her mother Maria loses her memory after an accident and suddenly knows only one thing: she has never been to New York. The feisty lady escapes from the hospital and smuggles herself as a stowaway on board a cruise ship to finally experience the city, which never sleeps, up close. Her daughter has no choice but to go with her make-up artist Fred on the search for her mother - and will actually find it. The only problem with the whole thing: The ship leaves before Lisa and her partner Maria get off board. It begins a chaotic journey across the Atlantic, where Lisa not only Axel and his son get to know, her mother makes an exciting acquaintance. - IMDb
