13-year-old Morris Gentry has just relocated with his single father, Curtis to Heidelberg, Germany. Morris, who fancies himself the next Notorious B.I.G., is a complete fish-out-of-water—a budding hip-hop star in an EDM world.

Morris sets out against all odds to take the hip-hop world by storm and win the girl of his dreams.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A gentle, funny portrait of adolescent longing set against the culture shock of a Black American kid trying to become a hip-hop legend in suburban Germany. It's both achingly sincere about the pain of not fitting in and genuinely warm about the small moments of connection that help us survive it.
