- Synopsis:
-
- Danger and Kaspar are graffiti artists who have each been ejected from their respective crews. They decide to work on a project in honor of one of their deceased brethren. One problem: Kaspar thinks that Danger is a man, and she has made no effort to enlighten him. Meanwhile, B-Boy would rather spend his days breakdancing instead of planning for his upcoming wedding to Pepsi, leading his fiancée to impose an ultimatum: he either needs to make a commitment to her or to his dancing, but not both. Celik paints a warm and lively portrait of street culture in Germany in which graffiti art, breakdancing and rap music provide outlets for exuberant youthful expression.
