Contra

This movie is a german remake (directed by Sonke Wortmann) of the french original Le brio. This remake is well done and shines with the superb acting by Nilam Farooq. The storyline is set up early, much of it through images. Yet the movie is not subtle on a cinematic level alone, the whole story is based around rhetoric on the one hand and racism on the other, prejudices on one side and brilliance of roses that grew from concrete (not giving immigrants the same opportunities) on the other. A must watch and with the unfortunate often low quality of german movie productions this one definitely is a very nice piece. Commendable.
