Synopsis
Berlin Alexanderplatz trails an African immigrant named Francis who struggles to make a new life for himself in Berlin with a fresh, modern neon-lit retelling and update of Alfred Döblin’s 1929 novel of the same name. After surviving his perilous journey, Francis vows to be on the right track, but soon realizes how difficult it is to be righteous while undocumented in Germany. Without papers, a work permit, and limited options to make money, he receives an enticing offer from an obsessive psychopathic gangster. While initially resistant, his life spirals out of control as he dives deeper into the city’s seedy underworld.
