Tschick (German: [ˈtʃɪk]; English: Goodbye Berlin) is a 2016 German comedy-drama film directed by Fatih Akın, based on Wolfgang Herrndorf's bestselling 2010 novel Tschick (released as Why We Took the Car in English-speaking countries).

The film depicts two teenage outsiders from Berlin who steal a car and go on an eccentric roadtrip through Eastern Germany during the summer holidays.

[2][3][4] 14-year-old Maik faces a boring summer vacation – his mother in detox clinic, his father on a trip with his affair, and worst of all, Maik being the only one in class who’s not invited to his pretty classmate’s birthday party he is secretly in love with.

Tschick manages to get Maik out of his dull mood, and they set off for an adventurous roadtrip through Eastern Germany.

While Tschick runs away to avoid being put in an orphanage, Maik is taken by the police and sentenced to community service.
