Friendship!

November, 1989. The Berlin Wall has fallen. Two young East-Germans, Veit and Tom, decide to set out for America with little more than 100 Deutsche-Marks in their pocket. But there is actually another reason why Veit desperately wants to go to the United States. He wants to find his father who had emigrated to the USA long ago. A batch of birthday cards stamped in San Francisco is Veit's only hint for his father's whereabouts. Unfortunately, Veit's and Tom's money only gets them to New York. Without money or contacts, and with only one word of English, "friendship", in their vocabulary, Veit and Tom still try to reach their final destination.
