After surviving the perilous journey from Africa, Francis realizes how difficult it is to be righteous while undocumented in Germany. When he receives an enticing offer for easy money from a psychopathic gangster, Francis initially resists temptation, but is soon sucked into Berlin’s underworld.
This thrilling reimagining of the literary classic paints a vividly modern portrait of the German capital and its reality for immigrants. With a riveting performance by Welket Bungué, Berlin Alexanderplatz moves with shark-like menace through the sultry fluorescence of the city’s underworld.
