  • Country Germany
  • Production Year 2011
  • Language German with English subtitles
  • Duration 103 minutes

Twenty-year-old Marisa is a combat girl in a Neo-Nazi gang, using her general hatred and frustration against foreigners and society. When young Svenja joins the group, Marisa appears like a role model to her: she fits the purest idea of a combat girl. But Marisa's convictions will slowly evolve when she meets a young Afghan refugee. Lead actress Alina Levshin's performance is a tour de force, creating fierce tension in her encounters with her family, the refugee and the gang – all complemented by the sharp dialogue, rhythmic camera work and precise editing. Winning multiple awards at festivals around the world, this is a film that reflects global issues of exclusion and humanity.

"A masterful debut feature." – Oliver Hüttmann, Rolling Stone

“Powerful and affecting and certainly one of the highlights of this year's Audi Festival of German Films” – Rabbit Hole Urban Music
