SLACKERS
SLACKERS
Snotty road movie on foot in the vibrant Berlin heat – in search of a bird and a just future
Summer in Berlin: the concrete shimmers. Ramona and Nico are best friends, but responsibility? Not really their thing. They’d rather chill out, hang out and get up to mischief. But when first the neighbor’s bird and then Ramona’s little brother run away, they have no choice but to plunge headlong into Berlin’s urban jungle. On their chaotic road trip on foot, they encounter climate protests, strange people and their own fears. SLACKERS tells the story of a friendship that has to prove itself in a crisis with humor, heart and without any flat coming-of-age clichés. An approachable snapshot of a Gen Z – somewhere between anger, hope and the normal feeling of being lost. (LGR)
