The last part of the journey along the Rhine begins beyond Duisburg and leads to the Dutch border. People have learned to live in harmony with nature on the lower Rhine. They return to the river what they once took from it: its integrity. Beyond the border in the Netherlands, life among dikes and canals is characterized by a battle with the water. Just before it reaches the North Sea, the Rhine widens, forming a fascinating delta. In Rotterdam, it feeds the third largest seaport in the world and, before reaching the North Sea, it encounters some weird vehicles.

The Rhine has been shrouded in myth over the centuries: No other river in Europe has more stories to tell - full of desires and longings. From a bird's eye view the film dives into the canyons of the Rhine source and at the Rhine Falls small drops of water fly past the audience so that they consider themselves right in the middle of the cascades. Panoramic shots amaze the audience all the way from Switzerland to the Netherlands. The Rhine is also one of the busiest waterways worldwide: The contradiction between industry and the urge for re-naturalization is vivid in everyday life of many of the protagonists - from the archaeologist at Lake Constance to the shepherd living in the green Rhine delta near Rotterdam.
