An aimless Gen-Xer, Jan Nebel, literally runs into Miss Right while walking home from a disastrous one-night stand. Unfortunately, he meets Vera in the middle of a Berlin street riot. Even more unfortunately Jan accidentally knocks down two plain-clothes cops who are pursuing her. Before he's arrested, however, he manages to make a good impression on the beautiful young woman.

Review: "Director and co-writer Wolfgang Becker weaves a loose, wry and finally tender tale around Jan (Vogel) and his meandering negotiation of the various people in his life: enigmatic lovers, grown-up drop-outs, washed-up lonely parents, irresponsible (incomprehensible) siblings, drifting immigrants, and men with bad haircuts (for this is Germany). A neater film would have given the script another couple of drafts, but the ill-defined narrative is part of the tentative fly-by-night charm. Being about the quixotic, unpredictable paths to reconstructing a social family, it sees opening up to someone as, in the end, an affirmative act of faith and optimism." http://www.timeout.com/
