Räuberhände

Stambul Garden

Janik and Samuel are best friends and enjoy the end of high school. Their worlds are very different, Janik´s parents try to do everything right, practically adopting Samuel, because Samuel´s mother is an alcoholic living on the street. Samuel wants order while Janik craves for a little chaos in his settled life. A thoughtless moment of recklessness puts the close bond between the two friends in jeopardy. As they set off on their long-planned trip to Istanbul, the boys are looking to save their friendship, enjoy their freedom and try out a new life. (Totem Films)
