Naked Animals

2020 · 83 min

A raw, restless drift through restless youth, all restless kisses and fights, aching with the weight of leaving.

Overview
Five young people in provincial Germany. They run into each other and away from each other. They kiss and they fight. It’s their last winter together before they leave school, after that it’s stay or go. A feature film debut of enormous intensity.
