Berlin in the summer of 1948. During the Soviet blockade of the city’s western sectors, inter-sectoral law enforcement is spotty at best. A youth gang led by 17-year-old Werner Gladow takes advantage of the situation. Guided by former state executioner Gustav Völpel, who has connections on the police force, Gladow organises armed robberies and styles himself the Al Capone of Berlin – to the great admiration of his mother and his girlfriend Lisa. But then the young gangster commits murder and, when the Blockade ends, so does his summer of anarchy. (Berlinale)
