While Fatih Akin‘s last feature, The Cut, finally arrived in theaters here in the United States last fall, it seemed to go quite under the radar. The Head-On director is now back this year with a new feature and it’s taking a much different tone than his last drama. An adaptation of Wolfgang Herrndorfs‘ novel Tschick, it tells the story of a pair of teenage misfits who steal a car and head out on a roadtrip.
While it hasn’t been picked up for U.S. distribution yet, it’ll arrive in Germany this fall and today brings the first trailer. Although there’s no subtitles yet, one can still get a solid grasp on what to expect, with a more vibrant tone in both the style and script. Starring Anand Batbileg, Tristan Göbel, and Nicole Mercedes Müller, check out the trailer below.

Tschick
Director: Fatih Akin
Writer: Hark Bohm
While Fatih Akin’s epic cap to his loose trilogy The Cut (2014) didn’t live up to expectations, we’re curious to see his latest, Tschick, an unexpected foray into ‘family film.’ Based on a cult novel by late writer Wolfgang Herndorfs, the story centers on 14-year-old Maik Klingenberg, part of a wealthy but dysfunctional family in Berlin. During this particular summer vacation his mom enters rehab while dad absconds on a romantic getaway with his secretary. Left to his own devices, Maik decides to take off with Tschick, a Russian immigrant classmate who shows up one day with a stolen car. The screenplay was adapated by actor/write/director Hark Bohm, who appeared in several feature by Rainer Werner Fassbinder.
