People have dreams - big, small, impossible... But where lies the limit of the impossible? Try to cross it and you will see. Trabant Goes to Africa is a movie about crossing this limit. It's a movie about a journey that is said to be impossible. It's a movie about the chance to interrupt one life, take all you have and for a quarter of a year live another life. In a real Africa. In Africa that is different from the one we know from TV. Two strokes, two pistons, two trabants and one big black continent. Without embellishment, without backup vehicles, without guarantee of a happy ending. Documentary roadmovie about traveling through Africa on their own hook and at their own risk.
