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 arrives in Germany on September 15, 2016 and is awaiting a U.S. release.
