Synopsis
Siblings Lial, Hassan and Maradona have lived in the Berlin district of Neukolln since early childhood. The Akkouch siblings are talented dancers and musicians and are well known in Berlin and beyond. However, they are faced with a rather large problem. Although their family has spent the past 18 years in Germany, their residency status is still unresolved and so they live in constant fear of being deported to Lebanon. Lial and Hassan are the only family members to have received a limited title of residence and they use their talents as a way of supporting the family to remain in the country as legal residents. But the extra workload takes its toll on them. Moreover, their brother Maradona's problems begin to pile up. Time and again he is suspended from school and eventually gets in trouble with the law. If charges are pressed, it will not only affect his own residency, but it could also endanger his family's chances too. Torn between his older siblings' ambitions and life on the streets with his friends, he soon finds himself at a crossroads.
