Mohammed is 18. Having fled from the war in Lebanon to Germany, he is now trying to find his way in a world of men: there is the gruff boss of the motorbike garage where he helps out, the co- worker who tells stories of his experiences in the Foreign Legion, and above all Lakhdar, his eccentric and reckless older brother. The two live without their parents in the dilapidated former family home in Berlin-Tegel. Between a precarious work situation and the hope for an apprenticeship, between heroic stories about comradeship from his co-workers and his own memories of war, between the good and increasingly mad ravings and words of advice from his brother, the young Palestinian has to ask himself the question: what does it actually mean to be a man?
