Duc Nguyen

DUC NGUYEN is the story of three Vietnamese-German teenagers hunting for a motorcycle riding phantom bolting over the Berlin Autobahn at night. Biggest admirer and fiercest tracker of this "Ghostrider" is 16 year old Duc, who is fascinated by the recklessness of the mysterious driver. While his two friends spoil his night by making out with each other and not taking the hunt seriously enough, Duc desperately keeps waiting for his idol to appear. But the Ghostrider is nowhere to be seen. Duc finally has the chance to proof his own courage when, after a sheer indefinite period of waiting, the group is entangled in a dangerous occurrence with a sinister taxi driver.
