Frontalwatte (2016)

In the soft underbelly of reality where consequences are as abstract as a dream, Frontalwatte paints a vivid portrait of three teenagers, Franz, Adrian, and Anastasia, as they grapple with the perplexities of adolescence. They tumble through a surreal world, their lives a kaleidoscope of home visits, jaw surgeries, bizarre triangle lessons, scandalous family dynamics, and emotive poetry slams. Their journey of self-discovery transcends the conventional, morphing into a quest for the perfect role, akin to being thrust onto a stage with a mouthful of bandages. Franz, reeling from his painful breakup with Claire, ventures into a strange hobby of visiting luxury apartments, posing as a potential buyer. This odd endeavor is set against the backdrop of Berlin, a city that indulges in such eccentricities. A chance encounter with Ursula, an older woman with twisted desires, lands him in an uncomfortable situation. Ursula, spurned by her own son Adrian, attempts to ensnare Franz in her web of sexual deviance. The tension reaches its peak when the unsuspecting Adrian stumbles upon their secret. Frontalwatte is a striking exploration of identity, adolescence, and the blurred lines of morality, inviting viewers on a journey that is as challenging as it is exhilarating, akin to running full tilt at a wall only to fall back softly. It's a show that mirrors the paradox of life itself.

Frontalwatte is a comedy movie featuring Franz Rogowski and directed by Jakob Lass.
