Oh the big fish
Were soon caught
As the small fish
Swam through the nets
Özcan and Samir, two boys from Neukölln, chase after happiness - by any means necessary, legal or illegal. Özcan is a rapper, so a bit of gangster is part of the game. Samir's girlfriend Linda is pregnant and he wants to offer the child a good life, but Linda puts a gun to his head: stop breaking and entering or I'm gone. Then one day they meet the Greek Manólis, who thinks he's Finnish since he got a bullet in the head during a shoot-out.
Manólis has been given a hot tip that should solve all their problems: A safe full of money in the Dahlem villa of the rich Japanese man Tanata, including the combination to deactivate the alarm system - a six in the burglary lottery. They leave their stomping ground and make their way to the rich south of Berlin.
This sets off a spiral of violence in which not only the three boys but also a few self-proclaimed underworld figures are thrown around. And while some of them fall by the wayside and have plenty of time in purgatory to discuss the big questions of morality and search for meaning in their pointless lives, Özcan, Samir and Manólis look for a way out of this muddled story and out of crime.
Fabian Gerhardt (e.g. Anna & Eve, Affe), co-author Kamil “Demian” and composer Wolfgang Böhmer (e.g. Stella, Drachenherz) are developing VERBRECHEN, a new musical about a society that doesn't care about the state's monopoly on violence and uses its own violence to establish order and clarify power relations, based on Ferdinand von Schirach's 2013 film. And in which being a small fish can certainly have its advantages.
