Drama

Marisa, a 20-year-old German girl, hates foreigners, Jews, cops, and everyone she finds guilty for the decline of her country. She provokes, drinks, fights and her next tattoo will be a portrait of Adolf Hitler. But Marisa's convictions begin to crumble when she meets a young Afghan refugee, and she learns that the black and white principles of her gang are not the only way.

VIBE

This film feels like a raw, unflinching look at misguided youth. It’s a gritty, tense experience that forces you to confront uncomfortable truths about prejudice and the struggle for self-discovery in a harsh world.
