I think it'd be safe to say that fourteen year-old "Maik" (Tristan Göbel) is a bit of an under-performer at school. His mind is always elsewhere, not helped by his dipso mother who is frequent away for her "health" and his oblivious father. Hormones are also raging too - one of the class cuties is to celebrate her birthday shortly and he's desperate that she invite him to her party. His priorities take an unexpected turn, though, when "Tschick" (Anand Batbileg) arrives at his school. This lad quickly deals with the school smart-asses and the two form an unlikely friendship that eventually sees the new boy procure a rusty old blue Lada and them heading off on a road trip.

But the story was observed from another character who has been with him all along. Opened with some road accident and soon the flashback follows to reveal what happened till that point of the film. For me the story did not impress, it was how everything was presented on the screen. It was a 90 minute film, and straight to the point kind of narration. Which means the pace was never compromised.
