The film deals with important social issues through the eyes of Iman, a young Afghan man who has fled to Germany. When he receives bad news from his mother in Afghanistan, he tries everything he can to help her from Germany. However, it is impossible for him to earn money legally in his new home country. For this reason, he joins a fight club in a dodgy neighbourhood of Berlin and tries to earn money by kickboxing.

I’m Ali Khorosh Fazli Bayat. I come from Afghanistan and now live with my family in Zolling near Munich. When I was 18, I joined a large theater group called “Asad Theater.” After finishing art high school, I graduated from university as a film director. During that time, I shot three short films as part of the department’s final project. I have experience with camera work, editing, and acting. I really enjoy watching new films online in spaces that feel like a cinema. After university, in 2014, we produced a full-length action film in a small team called *Black Mission*. I was the assistant director for that film and also had a small acting role. In 2018, I shot a music video in Munich. Right now, I am learning the German language and hope to always stay close to my family. I have been part of the KinoAsyl team since 2017.
