What happens

Oi! Warning is a 1999 German movie about a 17-year-old boy who runs away from home to become an Oi! skinhead. The movie was the directorial debut of twin brothers Benjamin and Dominik Reding. It took them about five years to film, mostly due to financial constraints. It was shot in stark black-and-white, underscoring the film's gritty feel. Among other recognition, the film has won the German Camera Award, and a L.A. Outfest emerging talent award. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
