Synopsis

Lukas’ dream of making it as a musician is on the wane and his great passion–rap–has also fizzled. He lives with his producer, Mischa, in an old loft where they cultivate cannabis. Lukas’ 16-year-old brother Sämi is ashamed of his brother. Mischa decides that he has had enough of Lukas’ escapades and asks Sämi instead to join the band. Meanwhile Mischa grooms his brother as his successor. Lukas finds himself oscillating between jealousy and concern for his brother, who he fears could wind up sharing his own fate. Trapped inside his silent pain, Lukas begins to compete with Sämi. Should he confront his brother to prove to Mischa that he can make it on his own?
