Meteor Street

Mohammed, an 18-year old refugee, lives with his chaotic older brother Lakhdar in a rundown apartment in Berlin. Several years after his family fled the war in Lebanon and moved to Berlin, the sensitive young man still needs to set foot in the harsh male environment, trying to find his place between his brother and his german motorcycle workshop colleagues.

Directed by Aline Fischer, Meteor Street leans on a strong ensemble — Hussein Eliraqui, Oktay Özdemir, Bodo Goldbeck — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2016.
