Berlin-Gropiusstadt, a prefabricated housing estate on the outskirts of the city. It is the last day of the year, filled with high hopes and the fireworks of the impatient. Three people are at a turning point: Tarik receives a letter about his impending deportation, Stella gets accepted into a drama school abroad, and Luan wakes up from a nightmare in which he is left behind by both of them. After his brother disappears and a botched robbery throws the neighborhood into turmoil, he fears the worst. A race against time begins to avert Tarik’s fate. But the more he tries to stop the course of events, the further he himself drifts into the margins.
