action
The three friends Albi, the blonde fighter, Tayfun, the carefree southern girl, and Franz, the lonely but clever fat man, always stand up for each other. In addition, they share a passionate love for motorcycles, which mean happiness but also great sorrow because they cost a lot of money. The bank wants to see installments on a regular basis, but the money for the repayments remains, despite all efforts.
Albi and Tayfun, who work in a shabby car repair shop, place the unemployed Franz there as salespeople. But when the old master Bichler dies, the son appoints a windy manager who throws the three out after a row. Chris makes the friends a dubious rescheduling offer. A lazy car deal fails: The noose continues to tighten. The fear for the motorcycles weakens the three boys' judgment. Albi develops a plan for a fictitious accident that turns into a fiasco.

criticism
“The adventures and everyday stories of a clique of young motorcycle enthusiasts who end up witnessing the tragic failure of their hopes and modest ideas of happiness. A milieu and character study that, unlike the socially critical or artistically ambitious German auteur film, is consciously oriented towards action patterns and tailored to the entertainment and identification needs of a young audience. Skilled in craftsmanship, with brilliantly written dialogues and relaxed actors. "( Lexicon of international film )
The German Film and Media Assessment FBW in Wiesbaden awarded the film the rating particularly valuable.
