The North German gangster drama "7 Days Stress" tells in haunting black and white images how the life of the 20-year-old petty criminal weed dealer FLOCKE changes dramatically within a week. Actually, Flocke just wants to get rich quick so that he can move out of the neighborhood and lead a life of luxury with his girlfriend LANA. But his past catches up with him when ex-pimp MACHETE gets out of jail. The nasty martial artist is sure Flocke is the rat who reported him to the police years ago. Barely free, Machete sets out to ruin Flocke's life. In mutual dependence, everyone involved is drawn into a dangerous downward spiral.
