Short Sharp Shock (1998)

In the underbelly of Hamburg, Germany, a trinity of friends emerges from the shadows of petty crime: Gabriel, a Turkish immigrant recently released from prison; Costa, a Greek struggling to keep his head above financial waters, and Bobby, a Serbian with ambitions of ascending the ranks of organized crime. Bobby, with his eyes set on a coveted spot in an Albanian gang, proves his mettle through a brutal initiation, pulling him further into the dark world he yearns for. Meanwhile, Gabriel dreams of shaking off the shackles of his criminal past, envisioning a serene life along the Turkish coast, running a boat rental business. Costa, perpetually on the brink of destitution, makes a pact with Bobby to undertake one final illicit endeavor before seeking redemption. However, as the two men prepare for the deal, their personal lives begin to unravel as the women they love drift into the arms of others. When the day of the deal arrives, it spirals into a nightmare no one could have predicted. With a blend of friendship, ambition, and betrayal, "Short Sharp Shock" is a riveting exploration of the choices that shape our lives and the consequences that follow.
