action

In a dump in Malta, Dorn, a young adventurer and survivor, is trying to sell 50,000 porno magazines when he is interrupted by the police. While on the run, he came across a baggage claim for Frankfurt Central Station. Together with his friend Lazlo, he sets out to get the contents of the locker, five kilograms of pure cocaine. The completely burnt thorn does not hesitate for a second to monetize the material. In doing so, he completely overlooks the danger in which he is putting himself. Two rival gangs hunt him down and try with all their might to usurp the drugs.

criticism

“Entertaining blend of genre stereotypes, fast-paced, with funny dialogues and a good leading actor; staged professionally and with tongue-in-cheek irony. "
