criticism
“In the anarchic classroom, in the roaring techno cellar, on their nightly strolls and in the laborious search for an apprenticeship. A haunting, fast-paced and touching research sentimental has emerged. The kids are, in spite of all barriers, stumbling and shitting, full of energy. "(Nina Toepfer, WELTWOCHE)
"Ghetto provides an incredibly lively, truthful and touching picture of this generation, which is confronted with an unprecedented liberalism in an unprecedented economic hardship." (Walter Ruggle, TAGES ANZEIGER)
