Growing up is tough on Berlin’s Gropiusstadt housing estate. No one can avoid the drugs and the fights. The summer is tedious, money is urgently needed, a theft goes wrong. No frills, just like Felix Lobrecht’s source novel.
Ten years after a tidal wave destroys a small-town elementary school with all the children inside, a young man builds a mysterious structure out of the school's remains, setting the town aflame with passions long forgotten.
