Feuertaufe

Directed by Philipp Klinger

With Kaspar Kaaden, Ruth Marie Kröger, Max Schwanitz, Timo Müller and Fabio Lomuscio

The sensitive, 12-year-old Jonas is torn apart between his mother's alternative world and the longing for affiliation to the strong gang of boys. In the heated atmosphere of the village fair and due to the frenzy of group dynamics, the boys increasingly lose control. Until they eventually find themselves in the dark in front of the gate of the villages freak. And Jonas needs to decide who he really is and which price he's willing to pay for it.
