Synopsis

Thirteen-year-old Sarah (Muriel Wimmer) is no stranger to sex and one-night stands, nor is her sixteen-year-old best friend Charly (Antonia Putiloff). It's only when Sarah meets the older Lukas (Joseph Konrad Bundschuh) online that she begins to desire something beyond casual hookups — but is that what Lukas wants? At the same time Charly has to figure out what she is to do about her pregnancy and her desire to find a father for the unborn child.

Cast

Production

To accompany the underage actresses Muriel Wimmer and Antonia Putiloff during the shooting of their nude and sex scenes, the director Christian Klandt and his film team were supported by two sex education specialists from 'pro familia Berlin'. [3]

Reception

Berliner Zeitung panned the film, calling it a "barren, tensionless film" and saying that it was "as ambitious as it is hollow". [4] In contrast, n-tv gave a more favorable review. [5]

<i>Das Boot</i> (TV series) German television series

Das Boot is a German television series produced for Sky One and a sequel to Das Boot (1981). Like the film, the series is based on Lothar-Günther Buchheim's 1973 book Das Boot, but with additions from Buchheim's 1995 sequel Die Festung. As the original film's plot ends in December 1941, the series's setting takes place nine months later, in 1942. The storyline is split into two narratives, one based on land around the French Resistance, the other set around German U-boat U-612 and its crew. Season three was originally scheduled for 9 April 2022 but was pushed back to debut in Europe on 14 May. A source from broadcast network Sky cites sensitivities to the conflict in Ukraine as the reason for the five-week delay of the season three release. A fourth season has been ordered, with filming set to begin in June 2022.
