people, the search for protection – they come into our country, but the country is not clear. There are too many of them. The catastrophe is programmed. Scary realistic VOLT shows “” in the cinema, as it could be, if we act not the man.
In the movie “VOLT” is shown in a raw world that awaits us in Germany. In the real world, in the US, for example, are held now five-year-old children, in handcuffs, because they could allegedly pose a threat. People from certain countries are not purely left in the country. Walls and fences should not be erected, only ahead of Mexico. Especially in our minds the walls are getting higher and higher. The fear is greater. Each is defending what he has, no one wants to give up more and more. We must ask ourselves: is Our so-called culture of welcome – did she survive?
And the “refugee crisis”, as we call them – was it just the beginning? In “VOLT”looks like this: In the near future, Germany has built a transit zone at its borders. Thousands of refugees waiting in Camps to their naturalisation, or on your return transport. Long ago, the people were left in the copyright-free Slums, however. The Situation is seething, threatens to escalate constantly. Brutal Police force to keep the angry transit at a distance.
In the ranks of the multi-state task force is also Volt (Benno Fürmann), who is in nightly use to a serious fact: the Volt kills the refugee Hesham (Tony Harrison), in a two fight. The crime remains zeugenlos, but the burgeoning guilt begins to eat away at him and drives the Volt deeper and deeper into the world of his victim, in the arms of LaBlanche (Ayo), the sister of the dead. He begins to follow her. First as Savior, then as a friend. But always as a liar. During the day as a police officer on the front line, at night on the other side. Volt would have to decide which side he’s on, because to escalate the unrest in consequence of his act.
“Volt”, as one could not look too far that day, and it is true: “The refugees”, you don’t really live among us – even if it is still as badass as in the movie from writer and Director Tarek Ehlail. Ehlail, whose extraordinary career took him from the Boxer and piercing Studio owners to the Film that shows conditions that are not so far away, probably not.
Hesham, the victim in the transit zone, says at the beginning of the film:
“I have been living in the Transit.”
“I fled in order to survive.”
“you have us in the Transit zones of plugged. Far behind your beautiful houses, your hidden behind the walls.”
“do you want to forget us. But we are there. Also, if you do not see us – we are many.”
Sounds ominous. For all of the pages. The refugees in “VOLT”, in this Gettho, the “Transit” is called, are far away from integration efforts, far away from the container villages in the middle of the city, far away from new-build projects, and far, far away from the success stories that have been certain among us with refugees, perhaps.
In “VOLT” is a Form of brutalization that takes place among the population, among the refugees, and the police. A people not much more in life. The police called Colored “Blackys” or “wogs”, “fucking view”, if a “Spaz” acting weird, they all have scars. On the body, in the soul. And Benno Fürmann, as a lone Wolf, and as the eponymous lead role, is a restless in desperate struggle with themselves and the consequences of his Atrocity. The whole of the actors of the Ensemble, by the way, is alarmingly convincing.
“Loaded with as much amps as its title,” says the Director of his own movie. He’s right. Also starring Ayo Ognunmakin (“Down on my Knees”), Sascha Alexander Geršak (“5 years of life”), Anna Bederke (“Soul Kitchen”), Denis Moschitto (“Chiko”), Kida Khodr Ramadan (“3 Turks & a Baby”), Stipe Erceg (“The Baader Meinhof complex”) as well as André M. Hennicke (“Victoria”).
More about
Ehlails sense of this controversial story on the pulse of the time is frightening: The fictional scenario of a world of tomorrow that was seemingly lost all sense of compassion, is due to the current developments oppressive real. What began as Science Fiction, is more current than ever and long to the actual threat of our presence.
“VOLT” has been running since the 2.February in German cinemas.
