Since the Berlin Wall came down, life in East Germany has never been more uncertain - nor more exciting, at least for the younger generation.  In the early 1990s, Dani, Mark, Rico, Paul and Pitbull are five rebellious teenagers living in one of the rundown neighbourhoods of Leipzig who intend grasping every opportunity that comes their way after the collapse of Communism.  Lovers of techno music, they intend converting a disused factory into a night club, but their plans are threatened by the gang of drugs trafficking neo-Nazis who rule the roost in this part of town...
