The Kangaroo-Chronicles

Share

Content

Marc-Uwe is a struggling musician living in a run-down flat in Berlin-Kreuzberg. One day, the doorbell rings and he stands face to face with a communist Kangaroo. What starts off as an innocent encounter in the hallway turns Marc-Uwe’s life upside down: From now on, the Kangaroo takes the reigns in Marc-Uwe’s flat and gets them both into all sorts of trouble. Despite all obstacles, Marc-Uwe and the Kangaroo become close friends when they are forced to fight a common enemy: Jörg Dwigs, a right-wing politician and investor. Dwigs wants to build his ‘Dwigs-Tower’, the headquarters for his far-right party AZD right next to Marc-Uwe’s apartment building. Together with their neighbors Maria, an IT expert, and her son Jesus as well as Herta, a pub owner, and the Turkish brothers and shop owners Otto and Friedrich-Wilhelm, Marc-Uwe and the Kangaroo choose to resist and fight.
