Another Reality

2019 · 100 min

An intimate, observational look into a parallel world, letting its subjects speak for themselves with unsettling honesty and quiet fascination.

Directed by: Noël Dernesch, Oliver Waldhauer
Genres: Documentary
Starring: PA Sports

Overview: In Germany’s big cities, members of families involved in crime live in a parallel world. Young men with well-kempt beards, bulging muscles and big cars let us into their homes and share their dreams. Gangsta rap and a different kind of integration. Better than any fiction.
