Weltstadt

Based on a true event, this powerful new voice in German cinema superbly examines German society with a critical and questioning eye in this excellent drama with utterly convincing performances. Weltstadt brings us two teenage boys living in a small village who battle with unemployment and despair at living the same frustrating life every day, over and over again. Their growing angst leads them to start taking risks and seriously pushing social limits - until there's no going back. (leedsfilm.com)
