🇩🇪 Emotions erupt among friends on holiday by the Baltic sea
Directed by the great Christian Petzold (Barbara); Winner of the Silver Bear Grand Jury Prize at the Berlin International Film Festival.
A small holiday house by the Baltic sea. The days are hot and it hasn’t rained in weeks. Four young people come together, friends old and new. As the parched forests around them begin to ignite, so do their emotions… happiness, lust and love; but also jealousies, resentments and tensions.
Afire builds a story that begins as a hangout comedy with a sad-sack at its center but gradually becomes a slow-motion conflagration that offers no easy answers.
