MovieDocumentary

When 25-year-old rapper Ardalan A. “Nazar“ is released from four weeks in custody, he faces more than just financial difficulties. The Austrian with a migrant background is accused of committing a robbery. His friends Vahid and Musti are on his side, but they both have very similar problems. With no training and no job, Ardalan turns the only thing he really knows how to do - rapping - into a profession and travels to Berlin on his own to record his second hip-hop album. Although Schwarzkopf - as he and his friends call each other - claims to want to put his past on the streets behind him, it seems to be too intertwined with his present and his fans. A parallel society trapped in a vicious circle from which there is rarely an escape. A film about a new generation and its longing for identity.
