Between rap, drugs, violence, and the boredom of a boiling hot summer, four friends Lukas, Julius, Gino, and Sanchez embark on a nerve-wracking adventure. Directed by David Wnendt and based on Felix Lobrecht’s much-lauded autobiographical novel, the film is a love letter to Berlin’s Neukölln district, written and signed in social realities, slang, and urban poetry.
