With "Hitchhikers" young filmmakers will tell a sensitive and humorous story about the development of two mid-twenty guys on their way to becoming adults. Frank is well-organised, due to a wealthy social background he can study without concerning about money and will get a secure job in the company of his father. But only one week changes his life. Within this week he meets his first real love. But suddenly the Spain Erasmus student, Mercedes disappeares without any words. The only thing she leaves next to his bed is an address in Lyon, France. Without thinking about the consequences he packs his stuff and hitchikes a car. The driver Tom seems to be on an arcane mission. Two guys with a completely different character and view of the world, together in one car on a trip to an unknown destination. Tom is a simple man who enjoys the bright side of life and doesn’t worry about anything. Together they learn the meaning of friendship and for the first time they take responsibility about their own life.
