Age recommendation: 12 years

Synopsis:
Because of the poverty in his village, Kendal, 10 years old, is taken to Germany by his uncle. Without his parents knowing it, Kendal becomes a dealer. It's an easy job for him because he is too young to get arrested. Between the accommodation center for young delinquents and the world of drugs, Kendal finds in Hellkamp, a taxidriver and ex-policeman, protection and friendship.

Comments:
A very strong film!

This German film mixes its story of clashes of culture and loss of innocence with a crime story that gets darker and darker throughout, and eventually involves Kendal in a game of life and death. (Buster Copenhagen 2002)
