Lucky. Niggers.

Thomas Heise's documentary about five young people coming of age. Filmed between 1999 and 2005. This film recollects Heise's experiences in Berlin in 1990 when he staged a play by Heiner Müller, "Anatomie Titus Fall of Rome".

Sven Behrendt is one of the young actors. The director follows Sven from 1999 through 2005. The word Neger in the title refers to the statement 'Ich bin ein Neger' (I am a nigger) by Heiner Müller. The statement refers to the marginal status of the intellectual. Heise revives the controversial scope of Müller's intent and applies it to his protagonists.
