No doubt about it, the life of a German skinhead can be dangerous and self-destructive. But for an aimless young man like Janosch, it is also undeniably seductive — especially as embodied by the charismatic Koma.

Janosch admires Koma — an old school chum who brags that he is neither right wing nor left wing, just 100% skinhead — for many reasons. He's tall, strong and knows kick-boxing. Most of all, he had the balls to leave the quiet country town they grew up in far behind. Koma likes Janosch, too, if only because Janosch's admiration makes him feel important. So, when Janosch gets kicked out of school, it's only a matter of time before he and Koma are living together, working in the same brewery and sharing the skinhead lifestyle. Soon they both have pregnant girlfriends, too. But a chance encounter at a tattoo parlor leads to unexpected conflict. Zottel is no skinhead — just a drunk, stoned, filthy, fire-breathing gay anarchist — and Janosch has never seen anything like him.

Unfortunately, Koma is convinced that Zottel is the one who burned down his hideout in an abandoned quarry, and he wants revenge. By the time Janosch realizes just what Zottel means to him, it is too late to divert Koma's murderous rage — or to have a happy ending.
