Fourteen is not easy under normal circumstances, and Maik’s are anything but. His dysfunctional family life, plus conspicuous unpopularity with classmates, means being stuck with the (ostracized) new kid is a curse. Almost as bad as not being invited to Tatjana’s birthday party – she’s the hottest girl in class. Summer vacation? His wealthy errant parents have their own plans. No big deal. Until ‘Tschick’ shows up, admiring everything about Maik’s “kick-ass” life. Somehow, Tschick convinces him to drop-by Tatjana’s party; their exit makes a bit impression and Maik realizes Tschick’s demeanor is his strength. The boys then embark on a road trip. Maik’s rewards are another new friend (Müller), and the best summer ever. Its repercussions are life altering and, who wants to wait fifty years?
