A writer goes on a road trip across West Germany with a group of eclectic people he meets along the way.
Dour.
"A bitter, deadpan parody of all things Romantic, Wenders's film is also so ironic about its own emptiness that it ends up being something pure: a pop dirge about how never sitting still may be the only answer to meaninglessness."
—Michael Atkinson, Village Voice
