Magnus, a barkeeper, has come to terms with his past: he is separated from his ex and their son and spends most of his time with his beloved old Mercedes. But when one night it is stolen this signals the start of an obsessive hunt for the thief that spins ever increasingly out of control. With the help of the exotic designer Vivian and his pals Dimi and Manfred, Magnus learns to overcome his pride and finally reach out and form new relationships. The film features a long night in bars, cool cars, love, friendship and hipsters, and is the result of writer-director Ben Brummer’s 20-years of field research in Germany’s countless bars.
