    “Patsers — The Movie” is a Belgian action-comedy film directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, acting as a spiritual successor to their earlier work, “Gangsta” (also known as “Patser”). Similar to “Gangsta,” “Patsers” explores the chaotic and comedic misadventures of small-time gangsters who aim to rise through the criminal underworld, only to be overwhelmed by the challenges they encounter. The storyline follows five years after the events of “Gangsta,” where Adamo becomes increasingly involved in the escalating cocaine trafficking that has afflicted the city of Anvers. His childhood friends have settled into regular lives and have distanced themselves from him. Jana, the new leader of the KALI drug cartel, closely observes his activities. Adamo’s inevitable downfall approaches. However, when a relative dies in a fatal confrontation between rival cartels, the four gangsters unite with a single goal: to seek retribution. “Even though ‘Patsers’ is the sequel to ‘Gangsta,’ where we follow the four main characters and their adventures,” Adil El Arbi explains, “the challenges faced within the Anvers drug milieu have evolved. ‘Patsers’ will be a darker and more serious film while preserving the humorous and accessible elements of ‘Gangsta.’”
