Trivia

"...The father-son story represents the core. Around this an extremely complex web develops in which everything’s interconnected - which is our ideal. We’ll see whether things can be realized this way. My objective is a universal, emotionally comprehensible father-son story that describes a social milieu from the inside rather than the outside." From Director's Interview: https://www.austrianfilms.com/news/en/umut_dag_on_cracks_in_concrete

Critics

...'...in a taut portrait of thug life on the Vienna mean streets.'
