Synopsis

Daniel, Mark, Rico, Pitbull and Paul. A group of East German friends grow up in the early 90s.
The first years of reunified Germany – when everything was colliding, when everything seemed
possible. From boyhood to rough-and-tumble teenagers, the Leipzig suburbs were their whole
world. Daniel was in love, Rico was the greatest boxer. And Starlet was the prettiest girl they
had ever known. They party, they riot, they run a techno club, they run from neo-Nazis, their
parents and the future. They are coming of age in a time of anarchy.
