Summaries

German teenager grapples with identity crisis, drawn to skinhead group while befriending gay leftist punk. Escalating conflicts lead to violence against the punk, exploring dynamics between skinhead and gay subcultures.

The film (the third of the Reding brothers) is about a German teenager following his identity crisis. The boy, transformed by the usual down-trodden socio-economic conditions of contemporary Europe, becomes a skin head, following the first one's lead. On the other side he befriends with a leftist (a punk) who is gay. This causes more and more conflicts which eventually leads to an atrocious end for the punk. The film offers scenes of homophobic violence by skinheads, and the whole relationship between the skinhead and gay movements (in Germany gay skinheads represent a substantial subculture).—Guy33134
