As a teenager, Gunther grew up in a household with a father, grandmother and three uncles, all of whom were addicted to alcohol and not averse to physical altercations.
Synopsis
All indications are that Gunther will meet the same fate. Or does he still have a chance to escape the Stobbes' misfortune?
Felix van Groeningen has "found a haunting tone, situated between the alcohol-soaked realism of Charles Bukowski, the loser poetry of Aki Kaurismäki, and the crude, anarchic humor of the Dutch chav comedy Flodder. (...) Van Groeningen shows his protagonists unadorned - without exhibiting them." (Spiegel)
