Score:
Growing up on the grounds of one of Germany's largest psychiatric hospitals is somehow - different. For Joachim, the director's youngest son, the patients are like family. They are also much nicer to him than his two older brothers, who drive him into fits of rage. His mother, painting watercolors, longs for Italian summer nights instead of constant German rain, while his father secretly, but not discreetly enough, goes his own way. But as Joachim slowly grows up, his world, not only through the loss of his first love, gets more and more cracks...

Score:
Talented and well-behaved 12-year-old Abdel lives with his mother in a tough neighborhood. When his best friend starts selling drugs for a local gang, Abdel gets caught up in criminal activities in an effort to help him out of trouble. He thus risks changing the course of his life and getting dragged down a path that he did not choose himself. After an unsuccessful task, he unintentionally reveals where the gang's base is located, which is immediately attacked by the competition. Abdel is forced by the gang to make amends for his mistake. An impressive drama with brilliant acting shows that even if you have a good home, parents, and dreams, you can still end up in bad company due to peer pressure. A realistic film, one that the teenager should not miss; it won the Young Jury Prize and the Church of Sweden Prize at this year's BUFF International Film Festival in Malmö, Sweden.
