When a powerful mobster orders Afro-Berlin DJ Sweety to handle a lucrative business, her career as a small-time criminal finally seems to take off.
But that same evening, when all her loot is stolen, Sweety's visions of a comfortable future life suddenly turn into a nightmare: the mobster gives her only a week to repay the debt.
Only Sweety's teetotal boyfriend, Klaus, could help her, but when she returns home, she catches him red-handed with another woman.
Sweety is furious, stuns both her boyfriend and her lover and flees the apartment convinced that she has also killed the blonde woman she hit.
Sweety's disturbing journey through Berlin has begun.
His last hope is the Italian Gino and his German half-brother Ninja.
These two unsuccessful karate teachers offer Sweety the opportunity to pull off a big heist together.
This could save Sweety's life and simultaneously help Gino and Ninja pay the rent increase on their decrepit Karate Club.
Or even allow them to buy it and finally escape the pressure put on them by the city's most insidious real estate sharks.
The unconventional preparations for the big heist begin. From here, Sweety, Gino, and Ninja embark on the biggest and most dangerous adventure of their lives.
DIRECTOR'S NOTES
The Woddafucka Thing is a comedy set in contemporary Berlin, but thanks to the high-contrast black-and-white images, the cool, idealistic characters are portrayed as if floating in a timeless reality.
Wide urban panoramas and cramped interiors alternate, offering the audience the opportunity to discover Berlin from new perspectives and fall in love with its protagonists. They are the building blocks of a multiethnic city that is constantly transforming. To survive, these new immigrants are forced to increasingly move to the margins of the city and society, trying to escape exorbitant rents and low-paying jobs.
The camera elegantly highlights the tragedy and comedy inherent in these picaresque characters, who define the spirit of this city and are never ready to give up.
