After two rather short drives and a visit at a birthday party they weren't invited to, Tschick proposes to go on vacations - it's Summer break after all, and Maik's parents aren't at home anyway. Only at the end of Summer break, out of the blue, Tschick talks to Maik and shows up at his home randomly, the second time with a stolen car. Andrej Tschichatschow is an immigrant from Russia who shows up drunk at school, has no friends and is only called Tschick. Maik is an outsider with an alcoholic mother and an unfaithful father. Tschick - in a stolen car, without a driver's license or the age to have one. The story centers around a boy named Maik Klingenberg who goes onto a journey with Andrej Tschichatschow a.k.a.
