Kings of the Road
Im Lauf der Zeit (Once Upon a Time)
Wim Wenders
Near the Eastern borders with West Germany, Bruno, a solitary, permanent citizen of the road and film projection equipment repairman, witnesses the sad sight of a VW beetle car storming straight into the River Elbe. After a while, however, the depressed driver, Robert, instinctively accepts an offer for a lift in Bruno’s repair van, and just like that, an impromptu relationship begins.
