Breaking The Rules – Across American Counterculture The history of counterculture has never been told in a cohesive way: neither in a form that appeals equally to all generations, nor has anyone explored the links between the different movements more intensively. Breaking The Rules aspires to close this gap. Breaking The Rules is a cineastic journey through time across the history of American counterculture, from the Beat Generation in New York and San Francisco all the way to the beginnings of Hip Hop in the Bronx. Always searching for the key moments that gave each movement its name, the film travels from coast to coast, encountering important eye-witnesses of the times. Enhanced by a captivating soundtrack (including studio and concert performances by Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and others), compelling snapshots and exclusive archive material, their stories make counterculture come alive once again.

Brudermord FRATRICIDE Semo, a Kurdish immigrant and pimp living in Germany, offers to pay for his younger brother Azad to come and join him. Reluctantly, Azad accepts his brother’s offer and makes the long journey from his poverty-stricken homeland. He moves in to an asylum for refugees where, amidst hopeless squalor he befriends Ibo, an eleven-year-old Kurdish orphan. A powerful and tender bond grows between the two boys, but the odds are against them. Ahmet and Zeki are young second-generation Turks. Frustrated, unemployed, alienated from their heritage and with no place in German society, their anger simmers at fever pitch. Meanwhile they devote themselves to petty crime and their savage pit bulls. When these four doomed exiles meet, their encounter unleashes a nightmarish cycle of violence they believed they had left behind. Boasting astonishing performances from a largely non-professional cast, Fratricide is an explosive tale of desperate conflict and bloody revenge, a savage, furious, and heartbreaking portrait of raw humanity struggling for safety, for dignity, for survival in the face of violence, exile and the brutal indifference of a society that wants no part of them.
