Maik, from a wealthy, albeit dysfunctional family, is virtually invisible to his peers, whereas Tschick, from a poor immigrant family, stands out at school with his loud Hawaiian shirt and rebellious attitude. The boys do have one thing in common: they’re both outsiders. With his mother in rehab and his father away on a “business trip,” Maik’s plans to spend the summer alone at home change when Tschick appears with a “borrowed” car and a plan: they’ll drive to Wallachia and visit Tschick’s Grandfather. Without a map, or a clue where they are going, the unlikely friends leave Berlin and set out on a wild adventure through eastern Germany to experience the trip of a lifetime, learning about themselves and the power of friendship along the way. Akin’s long-awaited adaptation of the late Wolfgang Herrndorf’s best-selling cult novel, Tschick, delivers a fresh, youthful perspective on the traditional road movie genre. • AWARDS: • Bavarian Film Awards 2017: Best Youth Film • European Film Awards 2017: Young Audience Award • New Faces Award 2017 • Zlin Film Festival 2017: Main Prize of the Youth Jury • • CREDITS: • Director: Fatih Akin • Screenplay: Lars Hubrich, Hark Bohm, adapted from the novel by Wolfgang Herrndorf • Cinematography: Rainer Klausmann • Cast: Tristan Göbel, Anand Batbileg, Mercedes Müller, Anja Schneider, Uwe Bohm • Producers: Marco Mehlitz, Susa Kusche, Kalle Friz • Production Company: Lago Film GmbH in co-production with Studiocanal GmbH, ARD Degeto Film, RBB, BR, and NDR • World Sales • STUDIOCANAL GMBH • www.studiocanal.com • BIOGRAPHY: • Fatih Akin was born in 1973 in Hamburg.
