Katja, Sascha, Benni, Laila and Schöller are living in provincial Germany free of parental interference. In between homework and smoking dope, martial arts training and gossiping about deflowering people, they explore their feelings in all kinds of different relationships, searching for each other, hiding, kissing and fighting. They want to live, to conquer the world and find out who they really are. Melanie Waelde draws these “naked animals” with a raw, sensual and sensitive openness rarely seen in German cinema.
