Wrong Move

Wilhelm (Rüdiger Vogler) wants to be a writer but can't write a word, so his mother hands him a train ticket to Bonn and tells him to go and live. On the train he falls in with Laertes (Hans Christian Blech), an older man who competed in the 1936 Olympics, and Mignon (Nastassja Kinski), a mute teenage acrobat. Wim Wenders follows the three of them across West Germany, with Wilhelm drifting close to Mignon and never quite saying what he feels.
