CGiii Comment
Jargo is a German lad brought up in Saudi Arabia, an ordinary boy whose father admonishes him that he must 'become a man' before his 16th birthday. Moving to Berlin, Jargo maintains his Arabian clothing until he encounters a similar aged German Turk Kamil and here begins his introduction into the world of juvenile cool. Kamil has a girlfriend Mona who catches Jargo's eye more than the ripe but wise Emilia. As Jargo and Kamil bond, Jargo's father's image continues to admonish him that he must 'become a man' and Jargo's clouded psyche both imitates and rejects his father's history, leading to significant changes in Jargo's 'coming of age' and his relationship with his new found friends.
