From the youth directed novel of the same name by Greogor Tressnow comes a film by Detlev Buck that is a realistic portrait of life in the section of Berlin called Neukölln. It’s about power and weakness, delinquents and victims, and the difficulties a 15-year-old faces in a poor and criminal environment.

VIBE

A raw, unflinching look at youth navigating a harsh urban landscape. It feels like a cold wind blowing through concrete, exposing the desperation and difficult choices faced by those on the fringes of society. Unsettling and authentic.
