Sun and concrete

Lukas, Julius, Sanchez and Gino grow up between violence and boredom, between tower blocks and parks, between drugs and dog poo. School is a pain, nobody has any money - but at least it's summer. So "it's no longer just concrete, but sun and concrete", as Lukas' brother notes. Everyday life already brings enough problems, but when the school is to be equipped with new computers, the clique hatches a plan - without thinking about the consequences beforehand. Felix Lobrecht is one of the best-known German-speaking stand-up comedians, as well as an author and successful podcaster, who stands out with his sharp humor and authentic style. Lobrecht says of his autobiographical debut novel, the film version of which was released in German cinemas to great acclaim in early 2023: "It's not my story in the sense of: This is my life story. I've always left open what's true and what's not." And yet it is the story of the majority of young people who languish in run-down and underfunded schools, hang out in prefabricated buildings and simply hope that their parents don't have such deep worry lines towards the end of the month
