Cocoon

2021 · 22 min

A gentle, honest look at teenage awkwardness and first crushes, with moments of quiet tension and warmth.

Directed by
Lisette Vlassak
Overview
When puberty hits the 14-year-old Sonny Kruger, he starts looking at his attractive classmate Coco in a different way. Too shy to ever stand a chance with her, he starts doubting his own masculinity. Sonny’s macho father Bero, his attractive sister Kimberly and bullying classmate Nigel, all contribute to his confusion and frustration. With the help of his best friend Ferdi and the things he sees in nature that inspire him, he eventually does have the courage to approach Coco.
