action
Two men drive their red vintage Opel Dixi through the GDR and on their way overtake a girl they watch. Therefore, they do not pay attention to the road and get a hole in one of the tires. While they are changing bikes, she has caught up with the girl and asks to be taken. The further journey leads the three through the Elbe Sandstone Mountains , where they take a break at a lookout point on the bastion with a view of the Elbe . On the further way they suffer another flat tire. Since the spare wheel is already in use, one now needs to be repaired. The two men want to draw lots to see who will bring the tire for repair, but the girl is already on her way to the next town with the part.
Once in town, the bike rolls on a fair against a roller coaster , which is put into operation and the girl can ride along. Towards evening someone is found to repair the bike while the two men pass the time with orchestral music. Then the girl is suddenly in Warnemünde on the Baltic Sea , where a train ferry from Gedser is just arriving. On the pier, she joins a group of young people dancing who suddenly stop dancing when Frank Schöbel starts singing a hit. On her further way she observes horses in a paddock and even a flight is still on the program. After visiting a bar and a concert with Vera Oelschlegel , she ends up in a castle that is even haunted .
In the middle of the night the girl comes back to the car with the repaired tire and the two men realize that the whole thing happened in their imaginations during the waiting time .

criticism
Die Neue Zeit wrote:
"This is a half-hour film ragout without a continuous plot, composed of episodes and impressions, insignificant in terms of content, but interesting as a technical experiment."
