An African immigrant struggles to make a new life for himself in the big city in director/co-writer Burhan Qurbani’s audacious, neon-lit reinterpretation of Alfred Döblin’s 1929 novel Berlin<br/>Alexanderplatz (famously adapted by Reiner Werner Fassbinder in 1980). After surviving his<br/>perilous journey, Francis (Welket Bungué) vows to be a good man, but he soon realizes how difficult it is to be<br/>righteous while undocumented in Germany—without papers, without a nationality, and without a<br/>work permit. When he receives an enticing offer for easy money from the psychopathic gangster<br/>Reinhold (Albrecht Schuch), Francis initially resists temptation, but eventually he is sucked into Berlin’s underworld and his life spirals out of control. –Alissa Simon
