Nulpen

Slackers

A slingshot is loaded, the stone flies and the neighbor's window breaks. Ramona and Nico are friends, lazy slackers and fresh out of school. But instead of worrying about their future, they prefer to be carried away by the Berlin summer. When they release a beloved neighbor's bird, they have to flee – into the politically charged world they don't really want to be in. A road trip through Berlin begins – but on foot. On their aimless and half-hearted search for the escaped bird and Ramona’s little brother, they struggle for their friendship, their belief in themselves and unexpectedly stumble into hope-giving life stories.
