Darlings
Synopsis
27-year-old Lena (Thea Rasche), an outgoing elementary school teacher from Berlin, accompanies her 29-year-old boyfriend Ole (Paul Boche) and his brother Lasse (Tom Böttcher) to the village where he grew up. But what initially feels like a relaxing break away from the hustle and bustle of everyday city life soon puts the couple's relationship to an existential test: in the old, emotionally barren environment, Ole changes and reveals traits that were previously unknown to Lena, which not only call the relationship into question, but also become increasingly dangerous for Lena.
