During a boring summer, an unpopular teenager's life is turned upside down by the arrival of a charismatic new classmate. The new boy is rebellious and full of wild ideas. Together, they steal a car and embark on a spontaneous road trip through the German countryside, a journey of self-discovery that involves petty crimes, awkward encounters, and the formation of an unlikely, transformative friendship.
