Wet Dog at Rutgers Cinema
Wet Dog
Solheil is 15, when his Jewish-Iranian family moves to Wedding, one of Berlin’s multicultural, mostly Muslim, neighborhoods.
While the other kids listen to hip hop music, and gangs dominate the city with their graffiti and fights, Soleil is eager to fit in and hides his true origins. He spends years hiding his Jewish roots to fit in with the Turkish and Muslim gangs. The day Soheil’s gang of friends decides to rob the local Jew-lery, as they call it. It’s then that Soheil embraces who he is and where he comes from. Based on a provocative autobiography, Wet Dog raises questions of cultural diversity, religious identity, and how they intersect with friendship, especially during the phase of rawness and exploration that are one’s teenage years.
