17-year old Leroy is an Afro-German boy who, not only notoriously unlucky, must also battle with an identity crisis born of the fact that he is both a highly cultured, well-mannered German AND black, thus belonging to two minorities. Leroy has a girlfriend, Eva, whose brothers happen to be neo-nazi skinheads, Leroy’s natural enemies. After some time, and against all odds, Leroy and Eva’s brothers have managed to become friends, and one day they ask Leroy to join them. But instead Leroy sets off on a long walk through Berlin with his Greek friend Dimitrios. Whilst distributing supermarket leaflets across a dirty, overcrowded city pulsing to a 70s soul groove, Leroy and "Dimmi" discuss the sorer spots of the German human condition. When Leroy and Dimmi almost get beaten up by skinheads, Eva bravely saves the day and then it dawns on Leroy how he can eradicate fascism from its very core. (Armin Völckers)
