Jojo, who was still a minor, ran away from home in the Lower Austrian province and made his way as a bicycle messenger in Vienna. He lives with the older Bastian, who also works as a bicycle messenger, in a shed in a backyard. One day, Jojo is sent to the mysterious, always fashionably dressed Bernd to transport a shipment to a suburb on the edge of the Vienna Woods. There he meets the 18-year-old Clarissa, with whom he immediately falls in love. From now on, Jojo is used again and again by his “regular customer” on this route and a triangular relationship slowly develops between the participants.

Jojo's lively daydreams turn more and more into real adventures as the film progresses. He is persecuted by a gang of neo-Nazis, loses his virginity in both homo- and heterosexual ways and is confronted with drug dealers.

Formal

The film, photographed in clip aesthetics with fast cuts, caused a sensation in the context of films like “ Run Lola Run ” and the techno and raver scene, which was at its height at the time . The strip, which is little known today, can be seen as something like a reflection of the youth culture scene in Vienna at the time with the Gazometer raves and the rise of the FPÖ under Jörg Haider , who here embodied the " main project managers " Clemens Haipl , Gerald Votava and Herbert Knötzl when neo-Nazis found entrance. Furthermore, "Tempo" can be rated as a typical coming-of-age film .
