Synopsis
When this film’s director became a father he suddenly realized that he hadn’t really achieved anything in his life. It was the same story for more or less all of his mates. They were all around thirty years of age and were still in the midst of their studies – or about to begin a new course of study. Together with three of his closest school friends the director decided to set off in search of the mood that pervades a generation of today’s thirty-years-olds in Germany. It seems that they all belong to an ‘indecisive generation’, one that tries to leave all its options open; that refuses to make a firm commitment for fear of missing out on an opportunity.
