This is really quite an enjoyable two-hander that sees "Victoras" (Vasilis Magouliotis) travelling on a ferry from Greece en route to Germany. In the café on board, he spots "Mathias" (Anton Weil) stealing a sandwich. Later the two meet on deck, and again once the ferry has docked when the latter man offers to help his non-German speaking friend navigate his way out of the port and onwards to his destination. Sceptical, "Victoras" accepts and what now ensues is a gently engaging road trip as the two get to know and trust each other. To help pass the time, "Mathias" suggests they play a game of twenty questions. The object of the game is to find out as much as he can about his travelling companion - not least, why he is going to Bavaria! That game serves to illustrate to the audience a little about both men in quite a novel and entertaining fashion. There is a distinct chemistry between the two lads here, the chatty and inquisitive passenger and the initially reticent driver - but that adds to the charm of the drama as gradually we sense that there are sparks looming, they are just taking their time! The actual purpose of the journey serves as a useful conduit for their backstories, but essentially this is just a tale of two strangers who meet and discover, well, that perhaps they quite like each other.
