    Beautiful movie!

    Beautiful film. Great actors, especially the main character is very convincing . The movie plays with clichés but is very convincing in great moments. Except the policeman the characters are worked out well and played good. You feel with the story in every moment. The scenes are not very rough so it should be PG13. Do not miss this movie! Thanks to the makers! Storyline: Young Arab boy moves with his family into a mixed neighborhood in Berlin. He discovers that the old man in the apartment above is a Jew. He tries to fit in with the group of boy from the street, his cousin belongs to. He gets involved in a vandalism and the police presses charges. He tries to hide this story from his dad because the family still has no permanent residency right. He and his mom convince the old man that he can work of his guilt. The old man thinks about withdrawing his prosecution.
