When insurance broker Mirko is picked up rather ungently by two strange fellows at his office and driven to a provincial town nearby, his well-organized life falls apart. He learns that his father Fiete, a scrap dealer of some dodgy renown, passed away. In an instant, Mirko finds himself at his father's funeral - and has to come to terms with his heritage. As the involuntary head of the family, Mirko has to help his raffish tribe to keep their scrap yard which is about to be sacked by Fiete's all-time rival Kercher. Scrap, so Mirko learns, has become the new gold - and Kercher wants his own personal share of it. As it wasn't bad enough, Mirko's brother Letscho, uneducated yet streetwise, doesn't accept Mirko's presence and starts his own feud. Since only a well-planned train robbery can save the yard, the two brothers have to bundle up their skills and eventually act like a real family. (Berlinale)
