A wry, observational coming-of-age comedy about a Berlin drifter's aimless wandering through absurd encounters, balancing melancholy detachment with gentle humor and the possibility of change.

Niko, a twenty-something college dropout, lives for the moment as he drifts through the streets of Berlin, curiously observing everyone around him and oblivious to his growing status as an outsider. Then on one fateful day, through a series of absurdly amusing encounters, everything changes.
