So. 01.03. 20:00 Uhr Urania
Benni grübelt, Benni zweifelt, Benni kifft, Benni tanzt. Laila wird von ihrer Mutter geschlagen. Schöller ist mit Laila zusammen. Schöller macht sich an Katja ran. Katja kennt Schöller viel zu gut, um sich von seinem Baggern irritieren zu lassen. Sascha schlägt keine Mädchen, außer Katja. Katja macht Ju-Jutsu. Katja ist unkaputtbar. Bleiben oder gehen? Melanie Waelde erzählt von einer Jugend im Übergang, nahe an den Körpern, nahe an den Figuren.

Benni is always brooding. Or wallowing in doubt. Or smoking weed. Or dancing. Laila has a mother who beats her. Schöller and Laila are a couple. Schöller keeps coming on to Katja, but Katja knows Schöller too well to let it catch her off guard. Sascha would never hit a girl. Except for Katja, that is. Katja does Ju-Jutsu. Katja is indestructible. To stay or to go? Melanie Waelde shows us youth in transition, close to the characters, close to the bodies.

The wind phone as an emotional escape

After Yuki & Nina in the 2009 Kplus programme, Nobuhiro Suwa returns to the Generation programme with another film. His new film Kaze No Denwa is in the 14+ programme. The day after the world premiere he takes a whole hour for Clara and me to answer our questions about the shooting process, the situation in Japan and other things. We make ourselves comfortable in the lounge of the Hotel Berlin, Berlin and exchange thoughts about Kaze No Denwa, Japan and the world with nice background music, while Isabelle kindly translates for us. Free Generation Reporters : How did the film team come together and how did you find Serena Motola, Haru's actress? Nobuhiro Suwa : It has been 18 years since I shot my last film in Japan. Since 2002, I have actually only worked with French producers. So I didn't know most of my new colleagues before. It was all very exciting and I was quite nervous, but everything went well. We did a casting for Haru, several girls showed up, but in the end

A First Tender Rebellion

„How do you know god exists?“ Spain in the 1990s. At a Catholic school for girls, Celia finds herself on the threshold to teenage life. Slowly she and her friends get into first contact with alcohol and parties, listen to music together, smoke their first cigarette and get tips from teen magazines. However, this is resolved lovingly and gently. No excesses, nothing too dramatic. These are the first experiences of a twelve-year-old. Especially the new girl in class, Brisa from Barcelona, influences Celia. They have a lot in common, but at the same time Brisa cannot identify with the strong Catholicism, something Celia has never questioned. This lets Celia’s world crumble. She begins to question circumstances that she had previously taken for granted. A first tender rebellion begins. At home, the otherwise very intimate relationship with her single mother turns out to be increasingly difficult. Celia begins to demand more and more information about her family's background, even he

The country of possibilities?

"We want to go Disney. One ticket please." - a review of Los Lobos It is the hope that drives the family to the USA. The hope for a better life, less violence, away from the father. A mother with her two sons, who from now on have to spend their time alone in a run-down room. Samuel Kishi Leopo tells the story of his own childhood in Los Lobos, backed up by his brother's music. The brothers Maximiliano and Leonardo Nájar Márquez give an incredible performance. Due to the warm atmosphere on set and the improvisation of Martha Reyes Arias, who plays the mother, it is not difficult for the two to act completely natural. There was a script, but it served more to define the plot than for the dialogues, because Martha gave the two boys all the freedom during the shooting and adapted to it and not only implemented Samuel's instructions herself, but also transferred them to the two boys. The enthusiasm of the audience can be felt from the very first second. The U
