With his birthday rapidly approaching, handsome, blonde Jargo (Constantin von Jascheroff, star of I AM GUILTY) wants only one thing: to become a man.

Accustomed to a rather privileged life in Saudi Arabia, Jargo must abruptly relocate to a Berlin housing project after his father (Udo Kier) commits suicide. While struggling to adjust to a new life full of music and raves, Jargo becomes fast friends with Kamil (Oktay Özdemir), a Turkish petty criminal, who tries to teach him how to be cool and assimilate into young German society.

As the two map out plans for their first coup – robbing the Filipino cigarette mafia -- Jargo finds himself increasingly attracted to Kamil’s girlfriend, Mona. One night at a rave, he fulfills his quest to prove his manhood by sleeping with her. Later, he suffers a guilty conscience knowing he has betrayed his best friend. When Kamil learns about it, he rages with jealousy and plots his revenge.
