The death of a young Arab man during a police stop in Berlin sparks three interconnected and tragic episodes: two young Afro-Germans struggle to channel their rage; the victim’s mother, torn by grief, feels compelled to defend her son’s honour; and a group of police officers, trapped in routine and clouded by prejudice, make a series of misguided decisions amid the city’s charged atmosphere.
