Short Sharp Shock

Gabriel (Mehmet Kurtuluş) walks out of prison in Hamburg wanting a clean life, away from the crime that put him inside. His old friends from Altona, Bobby (Aleksandar Jovanović) and Costa (Adam Bousdoukos), are still working as petty criminals, and the neighborhood they all grew up in keeps pulling him back toward them. Fatih Akın films Altona up close, staying with the three friends as their loyalty to each other is put to the test.
