Disturbed youth ... we've all been there ... well probably not to that level or extend as the 4 main characters are in this movie. Very interesting in their own rights and even more ... interesting when put together as a group. Of course you know that not all will go smoothly ... that doesn't even happen when you have "normal" people trying to figure things out.

So yes this is quite intriguing and really well told. Overall the acting is also good - there is one exception in my eyes and I really hate to even bring this up. Maybe it is just me, but I cannot feel much emotion coming from one of the female leads. The uninspiring way she talks and says things ... it has worked for other movies, but in this one, it just feels wrong in so many ways. Add to that her cliche parents who can't see anything (or understand for that matter) ... and it almost drags the entire movie down.

Again my 5 cents and it doesn't take away from the overall impact of the story. Which is prove that it is more than worth telling ... just would have been better in my humble opinion with a different casting choice.

German cinema is famous for its historical depth, expressionist aesthetics, and social-political engagement. It has moved from Expressionism to political reckoning, from New German Cinema's raw realism to contemporary genre experiments. Its legacy lies in both technical innovation and deep explorations of history, morality, and philosophy.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
