Synopsis by Clarke Fountain
In this comedy, when young Atzi, Lutz and Sulli are laid off from their extremely technical jobs in a Dortmund factory, the likelihood of their finding similar work is pretty remote. Instead, they steal a broken-down moving van with bad brakes and hare around the countryside along with a girl who hitchhikes a ride from them. This youthful film was a box-office hit in Germany at the time of its release.
