Who really is Buba and why is that dude so damn weird? It’s time we finally find out! The new film by btf Productions tells the story of petty criminal ‘Buba’ who, together with his ‘colleagues’, caused quite a stir in the hit series How To Sell Drugs Online (Fast). We’ll go back in time, to the time before Buba was dealing with synthetic drugs and teenage dealers. He’s much more concerned with Albanian rivals, who aren’t even Albanians at all, and Jule (Anita Vulesica) – his old-new flame with a talent for tattoos. And, of course, there’s his brother Dante (Georg Friedrich). Always at his side and no less crazy than he, Dante will show us Buba in a whole new light … or will he?
