Kurz und Schmerzlos
Fatih Akin
Gabriel, the young Turk, Bobby the Serb, Costa the Greek. These three men used to be in a gang together in Hamburg, but everything changes up when Gabriel leaves prison. He decides to live a normal life. He finds a job as a taxi driver, to the complete dismay of his two mates. Costa keeps his head above water by a spot of thieving and Bobby dreams about a career in the local mafia. Despite his girlfriend Alice's resistance and Gabriel's warnings, Bobby contacts the Albanian godfather, Muhamer. At the same time, Gabriel and Alice, aware of their guilt and swept along by passion, fall in love with each other without Bobby's knowledge. Meanwhile Bobby decides to do his first big "job" for Muhamer and hires Gabriel as get-a-way man. The job is going to turn sour.
