🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a poignant study of cultural dislocation, relying on the stark contrast between conservative upbringing and Berlin's street-level liberty. It explores not delinquency itself, but the fragile process of a teenager's self-formation caught between two identities.

What lingers after viewing is a nuanced initiation story where the performance of 'cool' masks profound confusion. It's a bitter-sweet testament to how easily one can get lost while trying to belong. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Maria Solrun

Best Watched

Watch attentively in the evening, attuned to the slow, quasi-documentary rhythm of Berlin's streets.
