reception
The Süddeutsche Zeitung saw the work as " informative documentation ". According to Fritz Wolf, its author delivers “ an observational film with an unrestrained urge for self-expression on the part of its protagonists. The men, all born in Germany, speak good but chopped main sentence German that is difficult to follow. All very informative, not easy to consume. "Natalie Soondrum from the Frankfurter Rundschau emphasized that the film makes it clear:" Integration is not a question of cultural affiliation. It is a question of social class. "Torsten Sülzer from the Kölnische Rundschau emphasized that Schran" came very close to a milieu between music and crime " in his film .
