Gropiusstadt, a housing estate in Berlin’s Neukölln district, is not for the faint-hearted. For Lukas, Julius, Gino, and Sanchez, a scorching summer takes a dramatic turn when they get caught in a gang conflict, setting off a chain of events that spiral out of control. Adapted from Felix Lobrecht’s acclaimed autobiographical novel, director David Wnendt co-writes a fast-paced, darkly comic coming-of-age story. 16-year-old Levy Rico Arcos shines in his award-winning debut.
