Description
The siblings Lial, Hassan and Maradona have lived in Berlin's Neukölln district since early childhood. As talented dancers and musicians, the Akkouch siblings are a household name in the street dance and hip-hop scene, even beyond the borders of Berlin. But they have a problem: Their family has been living in Germany for 18 years without a secure residence status and is permanently threatened with deportation to Lebanon.
Lial and Hassan, who are the only family members to have been granted a temporary residence permit, make a plan to use their art to support the family so that they can stay in the country legally. But the pressure of this double burden takes its toll: the sibling relationship between Lial and Hassan is strained, and problems mount for Maradona. He is repeatedly suspended from school and receives his first criminal charges, which could endanger not only his stay but also that of his family.
