Following on from Berlin Alexanderplatz, Burhan Qurbani has given Shakespeare’s Richard III a contemporary setting: Two crime families of Arab extraction are embroiled in a ruthless war on the streets of Berlin. Rashida (Kenda Hmeidan) is the youngest daughter and lawyer of the House of York. Yet in a male world, she is nothing but a plaything, safe as long as she follows orders. Sister, yes; daughter, yes; queen, never. Yet Rashida has had enough. She wants to rule, she wants the crown! To this end she must conspire, seduce enemies and kill lovers… "A hypnotic cinema experience!” (Taz)
