Manuel Bittorf: „Goldener Retriever“

Max comes to in the middle of the street. Blue lights are flashing all around him. What the hell happened? He’d just arrived here with his friend Chau. After one last wild party in the provinces, they’d left the East and headed straight for West Berlin. In the upscale Grunewald neighborhood, they feel completely lost amid opulent mansions and Ferraris. By chance, Max and Chau come up with a business idea that quickly pushes their newly started college studies into the background. Their plan works—until it turns into a national event.

For everyone who knows what it feels like to be lost—and how wonderful it is to take life into your own hands anyway.
