Unemployed Atze, freshly graduated Lutz, and foreign‑born Sulli spend their days loitering in a backyard after Atze is fired, Lutz is passed over for a job, and Sulli can’t secure an apprenticeship. Bored and mocked by neighbours, they impulsively steal a fully loaded furniture van. What begins as a quick test drive turns into a wild escape, drawing the suspicion of locals, police, and a determined neighbourhood crew determined to catch the trespassers.
