Six horny teens, one house, infinite bad decisions—German chaos in 15 minutes flat.
A house, a party, a bunch of 18-year olds.

Sammy rather spends her time with permanently stoned Sven. It's a night of losing, finding and too much pot smoking.
Acting
August Diehl's pre-stardom awkwardness is almost too real.
Writing
Rapid-fire dialogue captures authentic teen desperation.
Director
Marco Petry
