West Coast Premiere - Special Encore
104 mins. Narrative Feature Film. Germany (2014). DCP. In German with English subtitles.
Jury Prize for Best Narrative Feature at the 2014 Austin Film Festival.
A police special forces team, a youth gang: two parallel worlds, traversed by electric tensions and magnetic bonds. Chance and a shy thirteen-year-old first bring these worlds in contact and then smash them together in a fight for survival. A gloomy and tense metropolitan noir, suspended between traces of Scorsese and references to Scandinavia's take on the genre; it gives nobody a break and starkly depicts truth, justice, friendship and loyalty.
