Cocoon
German Cinema
•
Drama, LGBT, Romance
Nora, a shy fourteen-year-old with a troubled mother and boy-crazy older sister, must face the many tribulations of adolescence on her own. During one memorable but blistering hot summer, she gets her period for the first time, falls in love with another girl, has her heart broken, and, inevitably, learns to stand up for herself.
Premiering as the opening film in the Generation section of the Berlinale, COCOON is a “seductive and well-acted” (The Guardian) sun-soaked tale that “beautifully captures the moment when adolescence tips into adulthood” (Radio Times).
“A sun-kissed story of growth and metamorphosis.” –Little White Lies
DIRECTED BY LEONIE KRIPPENDORFF
