Impressive directorial skills, if a trite plotline, are on offer in Turkish-German writer-director Ozgur Yildirim's occasionally violent debut feature.
Wally Hammond, Time Out
Overview
This is the story of Isa, who grows up in a Hamburg suburb. It might be one of the world's richest cities but every beast has its belly and here, in the very underbelly, Chiko lives in a world where violence, staking and keeping a claim, and drug taking are the norm. Where down is not an option, Chiko is determined to rise to the top, whatever and whomever it costs.
