Sommer auf Asphalt
Kennzeichen D
Les (Mala Emde) lives a fast, spontaneous and carefree life. During the day she races through the city as a bike courier, after work she crashes somewhere with her friends. Stop, pause or think about the future? Not with Les. At least not until her father Bert (Christoph Maria Herbst) - with whom she actually has virtually no contact - turns up unexpectedly and, after an accident, even gets on his bike for his daughter without being asked. When Les then finds out about her unplanned pregnancy, she has completely entered a new reality. The father-to-be Tyler (Aaron Hilmer) would like to have a child, but is unfortunately still one himself. Les' world turns completely upside down - and Bert hasn't even told her that he's going to die soon...
