Twenty-four hours in the life of a clique of friends on a Friday in October... All six live in Berlin, are in their early thirties, and single. Today, one of them is celebrating a birthday. Writer Övünç has writer's block. Pascal, professionally successful, is plagued by the desire to throw away his current life for a new one - which one, he himself is not quite sure. He and actress Raha have recently separated. She hopes for her career to grow day by day. Kara prefers to spend the night at friends' houses rather than at her own home. Henner spends the day in a bar and meets Anja there. "A finely observed portrait of a generation that lets you drift through the night with its characters. A story that captivates me without a hero's journey and tells of not getting anywhere." (Sooner curator Isis Rampf) This "wonderfully fresh debut captures the feeling of life at a threshold that for many marks the perceived transition from youth to maturity: the 30th birthday." In the end, "you're flabbergasted at how close you've come to the attitude towards life of these people, whose story has rarely been told." (epd-film)
A senistive drama that authentically and lovingly captures the lifestyle of a group of young urbanites on the brink of a quarter-life crisis.
