Maik, a fourteen-year-old teenager, sets out on a road trip during summertime with Tschick, a new classmate, in a stolen car. The two share life changing experiences during the eventful journey.
The film is light and warm, following two outsiders who try themselves out during a summer without adults. The tone is dry and funny, with room for landscapes, chance encounters and small embarrassments. Akin lets the journey drift without heaviness, but with enough wistfulness that the summer lingers.
Good for you if you like coming-of-age stories, road movies and German humor with heart.
