Film about three Lebanese siblings from the Neukoelln district of Berlin. They are talented musicians and dancers, but the fear of deportation puts a strain on their relationships.
Neukoelln Unlimited is a documentary which follows three Lebanese siblings - Hassan, Lial and Maradona - through their daily lives in Berlin's district of Neukoelln. The children of the Akkouch family Hassan (18), Lial (19) and Maradona (14) are successful musicians and breakdancers who live in Berlin. They grew up with Hip Hop and streetdance, that is their language and their passion. But the pressure has put a strain on the two teenagers and a rivalry arises about who should be the family's main breadwinner while the threat of deportation causes extra tension.
In the meantime, Maradona gets himself into more and more trouble, and is suspended from school. He is at the crossroads between his siblings' ambitious lifestyle and the street life of his mates. However, a surprising qualification for a TV-casting show could prove to be his turning point. If he wins the 100,000 euro prize money, he might be the one who saves the family.
