When 25-year-old rapper Ardalan A. alias NAZAR is released after being questioned by police for four weeks, the difficulties he faces are not only of a financial nature. The young Austrian man from an immigrant background is accused of robbery with violence. His friends Vahid and Musti stand by him, but they both have very similar problems. Without qualifications or a job, Ardalan resolves that the only thing he can really do - rapping - will be his vocation; he sets off for Berlin of his own accord to record his second hip-hop album there.


Although this Schwarzkopf (Darkhead) - as he and his friends refer to themselves - emphasizes that he wants to put his past on the street behind him, it all seems too interwoven with his present and his fan-base. A parallel society, caught in a vicious circle which all too often permits of no escape. This is a film about a new generation and their longing for identity.
