    Even funnier than 'Theo gegen den Rest...'

    The movie deals with the story of young theo who wants to found a transport enterprise with his Italian friend Enno. But several efforts to get enough money fail because of bad luck, criminals or the risks that Theo takes. Marius Müller-Westernhagen plays Theo, the lonely fighter against fate, brilliantly.
