velho ford escort azul escuro
Original title: alter ford escort dunkelblau
“If we don’t go now, we’ll be stuck here, like in quicksand.” So Schorse, Boxer and Paul decide not to go to work at the wholesale drinks shop together like they do every day; instead, they are on their way to Legoland in the old Ford Escort. Schorse wants to take his son Philipp there, because after all, he knows what his son wants. They won’t tell Karin, Schorse’s ex, about their plans, they’ll just pick the kid up on his way to school. It could be a setting for a road movie with a happy end – but this breakneck trip through the Mansfelder Land ends right where it began: in social destitution.
