Storyline:
When the world offers you nothing... you fight back with your fists.
Mit der Faust in die Welt schlagen follows Philipp and Tobi, two young brothers growing up in post-reunification East Germany, where economic stagnation, fractured families, and toxic masculinity are everyday realities.
As their home life deteriorates and their mother struggles to keep them afloat, the boys look outward—to older peers, dangerous crowds, and fleeting thrills—for a sense of power and identity. But with no clear future and no safe role models, their choices become more volatile… and more consequential.
Torn between loyalty and survival, anger and understanding, Mit der Faust in die Welt schlagen is a raw portrait of disillusionment in a forgotten corner of modern Europe, capturing the quiet rage and confusion of youth with haunting authenticity.
