Alen has it all: a job on the door of Bielefeld’s hottest club, friends who stand by him whatever happens, and a girl, Flo. And he has nothing: no plan, no future. He’s stuck between two worlds, Germany and Armenia, night and day, past and present. When his cousin double-crosses him, the violence escalates and Flo leaves town, Alen remains behind as a zombie, a shadow entity. He calls his uncle, who once told him about a treasure buried in the old country. And Alen sets out to find it.

‘Nuran David Calis writes in fast, hard cuts, scenes whipped on by hammering hip-hop beats. Calis develops powerful, believable characters, with his tough, direct language and his own personal experiences vouching for their street credibility. Nuran Calis has plenty of stories to tell. Calis stages his narratives with the heart of a boxer: hard, but always packing an emotional punch.’ Christine Dössel, Süddeutsche Zeitung
