Well-known German actor-director Detlev Buck departs from the comic tone of his early films in this story of fifteen-year-old Michael, who moves into the gritty Neukölln district, a rough ethnic Berlin neighborhood.  Worlds away from the posh suburbs he’s used to, Michael undergoes beatings and extortion by a gang of violent bullies.  Buck shot on location, giving a restless street style to his portrayal of an area with significant immigrant communities from countries including Turkey, Russia, Serbia, Thailand and China.
