For Nothing
Unannounced, Aziza is once again standing in her room – internship, Portugal, everything canceled. But her room is occupied. Her mother, Trixi, has rented it out. Zach lives there now, a twenty-something from New Zealand, who came to Germany on a one-way ticket. Starting from this situation, the film develops an almost documentary-style portrait of a Kreuzberg ‘situation’: everything is readily available, time, people, summer, streets. And in the end a crash, the film itself: ‘for nothing’?

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The director constructs the narrative as a series of observational, almost documentary-like sketches, relying on the naturalism of the performances and the haze of a Berlin summer. The film explores a state of suspension, where life is made of 'here and now' moments devoid of concrete purpose.
What lingers after viewing is the film's specific, lazily melancholic atmosphere, which gains a bitter clarity by the end. It’s a poignant snapshot of transient connections. — MovieFinder Editorial

Best Watched
Alone, in the evening, when you feel like slowing down and observing the lives of others.
