Mike (2011) - film review
Lars Blumers
Comedy / Drama

Summary
Mike, Fred and J-C are three friends, 20 years olds who are never stuck
for something to do in their backwater little village in Alsace.
Their shared interest in football and biking keeps them occupied, but
Mike has another, more idiosyncratic, pastime. He is passionate
about motorcars, so much so that he cannot help stealing them, or
perhaps borrowing would be a
better way of putting it. This is how Mike likes to get around,
and this is how he met Sandy, at the wheel of a borrowed Porsche.
They say that love can change a man. Could this be where Mike
turns over a new leaf...?
