How to escape from depressions?

Dortmund in the 1970s: the last mining companies are going to be shut and more and more young people get unemployed. The same with Atze and his 3 Friends: they are unemployed, they are sitting around the whole day, playing with cubes or drinking, building their own car. But than one day, they took a parked truck and start their "tour" through the Ruhr-region in Germany ...

This film is brilliant, Adolf Winkelmann draws a real picture of those days in Dortmund and about the problems of the younger generation. in this movie, Winkelmann only used 3 or 4 professional actors/actresses like Tana Schanzara, the rest had been amateurs!
