German feature film by director Markus Goller
After 30 years, the two brothers, Georg (Bjarne Mädel) and Christian (Lars Eidinger), meet again at their father’s funeral. At first, they have little to say to each other: Georg, who became a carpenter and cared for his father until the very end, and Christian, a well-traveled top executive who is returning home for the first time in decades. But after a sleepless night with plenty of alcohol, they begin to reconnect: Both decide to finally take the tour of Germany they’d always dreamed of at age 16—on mopeds. Completely drunk, they set off that very same night. Despite the onset of a hangover and the realization that such a trip is rather uncomfortable once you’re over 40, they keep riding tirelessly. As they make some strange new acquaintances and experience—and survive—various crazy situations, they gradually realize that their trip isn’t just about driving across Germany, but about finding their way back to each other.
