Kings of the Road background

Kings of the Road

A wandering projectionist forms an unlikely bond with a recently divorced young man in Western Germany, as they navigate the complexities of self-discovery and explore the surrounding landscape near the East-German border.

A VW beetle crashes into the River Elbe, and a depressed driver, Robert, accepts a ride from Bruno, a solitary repairman, in his van. As they travel through the German countryside, they bond over their shared desire for freedom, visit old movie theaters, and get to know each other in small towns.
