Hardcore Never Dies

Director: Jim Taihuttu
Michael wants to start a study at the conservatory, but this is no easy feat. Then, his brother Danny opens up a completely different musical life to him: the blossoming Rotterdam gabber scene.
Michael (17) dreams of a future as a pianist, but his parents are opposed to an education at the conservatory. That is no place for a boy from the working classes. Suddenly, Michael’s elder brother Danny turns up, who introduces him to a very different musical environment: the Rotterdam gabber scene. The teenager is soon sucked into a world of deafening beats, brotherhood and drugs. When Danny’s pill trade takes on international and shady proportions, the brothers have to fight for their lives, in this drama.
