Synopsis

Two brothers, who have lost all contact, are suddenly brought together when they find themselves on opposite sides in a racist beating. Having recently joined a neo-Nazi group, Georgi participates in the violence, and Itzo rescues the victimized Turkish family. Georgi, now being asked to participate in larger events, starts to question his involvement in the movement and Itzo wonders if the beautiful Turkish girl he saved could be his ticket out of a stale relationship. Only by reuniting will the brothers be able to determine what they really want from life.
