Filmfan, Mutters Liebling und völlig gelangweilt Coming-of-Age in Brandenburg — nach Art von Marvin KaminskiMarvin Kaminski lebt ein Leben, das vor allem eins ist: durchschnittlich. Seine Arbeit im Rathaus ist öde, das Haus mit Mutter zu eng, sein Alltag langweilig – bis eine merkwürdige Webseite und ein ebenso merkwürdiger Auftrag sein Leben komplett auf den Kopf stellen.

Oder war es doch nur ein Unfall?
