isn′t an ordinary crime story depicting the brutality of suburban
youth. It is an acute portrayal of German kids struggling with
contemporary urban life. The idea for the film was born when the
director met with members of two gangs while producing a music video
about violence in German schools. All the young actors in the film are
amateurs. The director and the 13 participating kids met over several
weekends and an intensive week-long training session to prepare for the
film. During the improvisation exercises of these workshops, the film′s
narrative was honed to correspond with the real-life experiences of the
kids
