Description
Fred, Nickel and Annette share a dream, to escape to Canada and away from the boredom of provincial Germany. But dreams cost money and money means banks and banks mean robbery and robbery can go wrong. And the robbery does go wrong leaving Fred arrested and imprisoned for four years. Once he's out he heads for Berlin, a city in flux after the dismantling of the Wall. He's pursuing his money, his friends and his dreams. But for Nickel and Annette times have moved on, and their earlier exploits are not ones they care to remember.
