TORPEDO Helene Hegemann, D 2008, 42 min

Wild, risky, dangerous: German cinema needs more Torpedos!

The festival hit at Hofer Filmtage '08 and award-winner at Max Ophüls Preis '09!

Mia is fifteen and severely traumatised. After the death of her mother she moves in with her aunt Cleo and dives into Berlin's leftist cultural scene. Having given up the hope of ever growing up in a proper family, she tries to settle herself in an adult world, that turns out far more bizarre than young people could ever imagine.
