What Is Die Ratte About?

The premise of Die Ratte without spoilers.

Ricki, a 15‑year‑old supermarket apprentice, idolises his older brother Sven, a notorious figure in Hamburg’s red‑light district who survives on thefts and drug dealing. When Sven humiliates Ricki and forces him to sleep with a showgirl, his heroic image shatters. Enraged, Ricki—nicknamed the “Arschbackenzukneifer”—exacts brutal revenge, making Sven suffer on his own turf.
