CGiii Comment

Without a doubt not your ordinary coming-of-age film that will leave no one indifferent.

Fifteen-year-old Gabo seems like a regular teenager who goes to school, plays video games with his best friend and does other things a normal teenager would do – except he’s not. He has tendencies he knows to be wrong, but cannot control.

He befriends Dave, a much older man with his own fantasies. Lines soon start to blur between a trusting friendship and being groomed. Once Dave is arrested on suspicion of statutory rape, Gabo must suddenly decide whether to testify against his mentor with the risk of exposing his own secret.

Director Steve Bache’s debut is not your ordinary coming-of-age film, confronting taboo subjects that will shake the viewer to the core, asking questions about what we are born as and what life can turn us into.

Triin Tramberg


Seit der 15-jährige Gabo (Carlo Krammling) um seine pädophile Neigung weiß, versucht er seine Bedürfnisse zu kontrollieren und zu verbergen. Weder seinen Freundinnen und Freunden noch seiner Mutter (Katharina Marie Schubert) oder Schwester (Bineta Hansen) gegenüber vertrauet er sich an - zu groß ist die Angst vor den Reaktionen. Unterstützung und Gehör findet er in Online-Chatforen und stößt dort auch auf den deutlich älteren Dave (Robin Sondermann). Dieser nutzt jedoch Gabos Unsicherheit aus, es entwickelt sich eine toxische Machtdynamik. Als Dave plötzlich wegen des Verdachts auf Missbrauch von Minderjährigen von der Polizei verhaftet wird, muss sich Gabo entscheiden.
