Oliver Rihs’ second feature is a no-holds-barred assault on good taste and bourgeois convention. “Black Sheep” is about urban Berlin Lifestyle. About a bunch of hopeless losers, who are trying, to get the big money with the strangest plans. There is a Ex-Handmodel for Rolex, who wants to seduce a yuppie girl and cheat his insurance company. There is an East-German woman and her drunken artist boyfriend playing Lotto, some satanists, who are planning a ritual with their grandmother, and two young anarchists, who are testing a new kind of Ego-economy. And last, but not least, three horny Turkish boys, who are stealing cash, to meet a prostitute. A lighthearted, stylish comedy in an electric Berlin, full of surreal moments. The film is about material illusions and true love.

“…Like American Pie in the visual style of A Bout de Souffle…Great fun and a cult hit waiting to happen.”
Eye for Films
“The audience were whooping and cheering, clapping with hands in the air…”
Edinburgh Film Festival
“…Youthful, energetic and defiantly in your face, Black Sheep (Schwarze Schafe) is powered by punk rock spirit and overheated libido…”
