Sonne und Beton

Feature film, DE, 2023, R: David Wnendt, 119 min

For Lukas, Gino, Julius and Sanchez, everyday life in dreary Berlin Neukölln always looks the same: During the day they shimmy through class, then they fight boredom, seek distraction on the game console, smoke pot and try to impress girls. They try to stay out of gang rivalries and drug deals until one fateful day in the summer when they get caught between the fronts.
