Two fourteen-year-olds, a stolen Raff, a journey of youth, a summer that will never be forgotten.

Chick, an extremely bright Russian transfer student, and Mek, a diminutive boy, gradually became friends who were aliens in the eyes of two classmates. Cheek drank, was bold, seemed free and easy, and used a sentence to shut up his classmates who insulted Putin. He calls himself a Jewish Gypsy and has been wandering. Mek's mother was an alcoholic, her father cheated, and her family was wealthy, but she was always ignored by her classmates. She liked a girl named Tajiyana, but she never dared to confess.

In that unforgettable summer, Cheek took Meck and made a handsome confession at Tajiana's birthday party, threw away the phone, threw away the wine bottle, met the "walking noble", and drove Cheek in the cornfield. name, no worries about tomorrow. Beneath the lighthouse, Cheek and Meck imagined the universe, imagining insects living on other planets: "They were putting on a movie about two kids and their stolen car, and they both thought it was fiction. Yes. Only two insects believe that this is real, just like only the two of us believe in their existence." The white lighthouse, the red light, and the purple Milky Way make the film's pattern become grand all at once.

In a remote country, they meet a kind mother, a very bright child who lives with her, and their missing father. When they were looking for a hose to steal oil, they met a girl who wanted to go back to Prague to see her sister. The three of them didn't know each other. She gave Meke a sexual enlightenment and made him understand that women are more important than appearance. something that made him let go of his fascination with Taguiana. Before parting, the three of them carved their names on the mountain and made a promise to return after fifty years.

In the pond, Cheek broke his foot and told Meek his deepest secret. Maker learned to drive for the first time, but got into an accident on the highway. In order not to be caught in the orphanage, Cheek chose to flee when the police arrived. After school started, he used a ruined Ralph to say hello to Meck. Maker took the responsibility for causing the accident and grew up through travel.

At the beginning of the film, the scene after the accident is presented with a swaying and overlapping shot. The director uses bright tones to present the rural style of Germany, which is full of youthful atmosphere. The director also presented the Russians in the eyes of Westerners: drinking, courageous, and free and easy, and the dragons on the clothes that appeared many times and the Mongolian appearance of Chek had a Chinese flavor.
