Is a raw and intimate coming-of-age drama about two young men, caught between camaraderie and self-awareness, violently growing apart.

Raoul and Anouar are best friends—brothers within the hardcore ranks of FC Groningen’s hooligans. During a violent clash with FC Cambuur supporters, an unexpected comment sparks something in Anouar: doubts about his role in the violence, his identity, and his future. Their bond begins to strain under the weight of unspoken feelings, revealing that their connection may run deeper than either had imagined. As Anouar starts to turn away from the hooligan lifestyle in search of meaning, Raoul clings desperately to their brotherhood and sinks further into radicalization. Anouar chooses a different path—the mosque, a girl, a new life. Raoul is left to fend for himself, struggling to shape a life without his best friend. Tensions mount until they erupt in an explosive confrontation where loyalty, desire, and anger collide.
