Haps - Crime Doesn't Pay

Deutschland 2023-2025 Spielfilm

Summary

The seemingly innocent Alexander Rothstein ends up in prison for drug trafficking. He is actually responsible for supporting his newly pregnant girlfriend Julia and their future child. To make matters worse, he ends up in a cell with the dangerous Russian Viktor and the unstable Arab Khalil. In order to fulfill his duties as a father and escape the dangers of prison, Alex needs money – a lot of money. His desperation drives him into the arms of the Kurdish gang leader Mazlum, also known as the Dutchman, and back to his friend from drug therapy, Cem. Together, they weave the threads of an organization that even casts its nets outside the prison walls, but at the height of the euphoria, Alex suddenly finds himself caught in it. He is left with only two options: Succumb to the plot of intrigue and betrayal or become a monster himself.
