"An immensely likeable comedy about three runaways who magically find joy and happiness" – kino.de
Flake is shy, an outsider, and named after the keyboard player of the band Rammstein. Thanks, mom and dad. What's worse, he is unable to declare his love for his classmate Leonie. When he takes the blame for an accident Leonie causes, he ends up doing community service - and then meets Kim, a small-time drug dealer, and Philipp, a bitter wheelchair user. This turns into a tour de force through the countryside, in an aging moped car, at 30 miles per hour. But what they lack in speed they sure make up for in crazy adventures, involving a right-wing prepper, a sexworker, and unknowingly carrying a bunch of cocaine. Will Flake make it to Lake Constance to declare his love for Leonie?
