It is 1969 and Man is about to set foot on the moon. Caro, an inquisitive 9-year-old girl living on a pig farm, can't believe such nonsense. Her religious father Mees is having difficulties of his own. Coping with modern-day technology and running a large household had driven him to drinking. Caro feels close to God and as she prepares diligently for her First Holy Communion, she makes a deal with her father. If he promises not to drink until her communion day, then in return she'll learn how to swim. But Mees can't keep her part of the bargain, and the day ends in disaster. Consequently, Caro starts doing extraordinary things beyond her controle while Mees falls into a state apathy...
