Fette Welt

1999 · ★ 6.1 · Drama, Romance

They kiss and they fight, they love and they kill each other: Hagen Trinker and the others, bums and junkies, men and women. They live in Munich, under the bridge, in the shell of a building. Sometimes an armchair is their home, sometimes a newspaper is their mattress. But mostly they are on the move anyway, on the street, in shopping arcades, at the train station - without a destination and without illusions. Then Julia joins them, 15 years old, who has run away from home - a princess, as one of the clique says. Hagen falls in love with her. A fairy tale begins, and the next moment it is already over. But now Hagen is ready to fight once more: he simply has to find Judith again...
