The teenagers Lukas, Julius and Gino spend their time in the Berlin district of Neukölln smoking pot and trying, largely unsuccessfully, to pick up girls.

He is full of admiration for his well-trained older brother Marco, who is a living street legend in the district and keeps his head above water as a petty criminal.

Julius lives without parents in a run-down apartment together with his older brother, who is always drunk or stoned, bumming around with his buddies during the day.

Later, when Lukas is standing in front of the door with the dealer without his family, he also has to give him his newly bought sneakers to make peace.

While Luke, Julius and Sanchez get rid of the last computers, Gino, who is becoming increasingly desperate about the situation with his brutal father, goes crazy.

Gino takes a drug given to him by Julius and gains courage from the intoxication, hits his father, who is once again beating up on his mother, with a bottle and seriously injures him.

Levy Rico Arcos, Vincent Wiemer, Rafael Luis Klein-Hessling and Aaron Maldonado-Morales made it to the final cast along with Jörg Hartmann [de], Franziska Wulf and musicians and hip-hop stars like Luvre47, Lucio101, Juju, Olexesh, NNOC, Azzi Memo, Klapse Mane and AOB.
