Overview

Neon lights instead of spotlights, jail instead of football stadium: Momo Kaval can not believe it! For a robbery in which he was involved with his criminal cousins, he is the only one arrested. Director Kida Khodr Ramadan immerses himself in a network of clan crime, turf fights and corruption with a grandiose cast of actors. In his film debut, German rapper Xidir aka Alian Koder plays a 19-year-old who claims to be innocent and is still sentenced to nine years in prison. But how innocent is he really? The idea for the five-part gangster series comes from Katja Eichinger.
