Sun and Concrete

In the sweltering summer of 2003, four teenage friends, Lukas, Julius, Gino, and Sanchez, navigate the harsh realities of growing up in Neukölln, Berlin. With limited resources and a lack of opportunities, they spend their days smoking pot, trying to pick up girls, and dreaming of a better life. When they're not dealing with their dysfunctional families, they're confronted by the threat of local drug dealers who demand protection money. One fateful day, Sanchez proposes a plan to break into their school and steal new computers to sell for cash. The heist seems like a success, but it sparks a chain of events that exposes the flaws in their friendship, family, and community. As tensions rise and loyalties are tested, the boys must confront the consequences of their actions and make difficult choices to survive in a world that seems determined to hold them back. Will they find a way to overcome the obstacles or will their lives forever be entangled in the web of drugs, violence, and desperation? "Sun and Concrete" is a gripping coming-of-age drama that delves into the complexities of adolescence amidst social reforms. With a cast of authentic characters, the film takes audiences on a journey through the struggles of growing up in a tough Berlin neighborhood, where the desire for belonging and success is tempered by the harsh realities of life on the streets.
