Synopsis
Rudy and Martin have little in common except for being fatally ill: Rudy is uptight, Martin rebellious. But when they meet in hospital and Rudy admits that he has never seen the sea, Martin persuades him to take a trip with him. They steal a car and head for the coast. However, the car belongs to some gangsters and when they try to retrieve it, complications ensue.
