Two young men, Martin and Rudi, both suffering from terminal cancer, get to know each other in a hospital room. They drown their desperation in tequila and decide to take one last trip to the sea. Drunk and still in pajamas they steal the first fancy car they find, a 60's Mercedes convertible. The car happens to belong to a bunch of gangsters, which immediately start to chase it, since it contains more than the pistol Martin finds in the glove box.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
Two terminally ill men steal a gangster's car and race toward the sea in a reckless, drunken spree that's equal parts dark comedy and heartfelt goodbye. It's a film about claiming joy in the face of death, told with genuine warmth and absurdist humor.
