A strange suicidal hand puppet, a lost eye in a bottle-return machine, sexy women in uniforms, a nicely smelling deodorant on bruises... In the streets of Stuttgart, the mute Luka and the yobbish Umut experience the probably most exciting day of their lives, at the end of which they have grown up quite a bit.
