Small-town Bavarian teens chase freedom, love, and maybe a driver's license — chaos guaranteed.
Kati drives the VW bus of her parents even without a license quite fast. But what else should one do in the Bavarian province? Kati and her best friend Jo keep asking themselves this question when they philosophize about God and the world with the tip in one hand and the beer in the other hand. After all, Kati's swarm Mike has just come back from the Bundeswehr, but while she dreams of the great love, he seems to take the matter far less seriously. And there's only stress with her dad.

The VW bus as moving prison and promise of elsewhere.
Director
Marcus H. Rosenmüller
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Rosenmüller helped spark the 'Heimatfilm' revival — rural stories told without nostalgia, just suffocation.
The Bundeswehr subplot quietly critiques post-reunification German masculinity: Mike returns hollow, not heroic.
