Ertan Ongun is German-Turkish, a child of migrants. He likes to refer to himself as Kanake. His buddies Mehdi and Kemal are of the same ilk. They do “business” on the street together, but because of their recklessness and sometimes great stupidity, they repeatedly offend both other criminals and the police. No problem for Ertan, because his motto is loyalty, quick money, and being a kanake. “Fuck and be fucked, that’s life!” … and that’s what he lives by one hundred percent.
