Unsere bösen Kinder

About This Movie

So, 'Unsere bösen Kinder' is a documentary that dives right into the gritty realities of street life for five kids in Berlin. Shot during Christmas in '92, it captures this raw, unfiltered atmosphere. You feel the weight of their lives—Claudia, just 13, is trying to assert her independence while Danny, who’s been on the streets for two years, reflects a harsher, more jaded perspective on Germany. The pacing is unhurried, almost lingering on their stories, which gives us time to absorb their struggles and aspirations. It’s not flashy; there are no over-the-top effects, just real people in tough spots. There’s something jarring yet poignant about their voices, making the film quite distinctive in its approach to youth and resilience.
