Plot

During a performance tour in Germany, Anis Ferchichi aka Bushido celebrates his birthday with his crew on the tour bus. Ferchichi gets a letter from his father Ayech. This brings back memories of his difficult childhood in Berlin, which are then shown through flashbacks.

Ferchichi spends his childhood in a deprived area of Berlin with his Tunisian father Ayech, German mother Luise and younger brother Sercan. He grows up in a violent environment and often watches Ayech beating Luise. He is a poor student but embraces music. He goes to college and leaves his girlfriend after she has been unfaithful to him. He earns a lot of money selling drugs and celebrates his success as a drug dealer at a party, where he meets Selina, who becomes his new girlfriend. One day, drug dealers break into the apartment Ferchichi shares with his family, tie up Luise and Sercan, ransack their possessions and steal their money. After this experience, Ferchichi spends more time with his friends.

Years later, Ferchichi, now an adult, starts freestyle rapping with his friends, including Patrick Losensky aka Fler. A video game inspires Ferchichi to call himself Bushido. He and Losensky sign a record contract with the record label Hardcore Berlin, based on Aggro Berlin. Bushido eventually leaves Hardcore Berlin after a dispute with his manager Arafat Abou-Chaker.
