Synopsis:
Mohammed is 18. He fled from the war in Palestine to Germany and is now looking for orientation in a world of men: There’s the gruff straight-lined head of the motorcycle garage, where he helps out, then a colleague who told him about his experiences in the Foreign Legion, and but above all his charismatic and psychotic older brother Lakhdar. Without their parents, both live in the dilapidated former family home in Berlin-Tegel. Airplanes thunder constantly over the house. Between precarious work and the hope of an education, heroic tales of camaraderie and his own memories of war and the mistaken delirium and muddled advice of his brother, raises the question to him: What does it really mean to be a man?
