The three friends Janine, Tom and Pete have an unsatisfied need for their parents to love and see them. They do whatever it takes to get any reaction, even if it's not a loving one. They are teenagers, children of wealthy German middle and upper-class parents. They have everything they want in terms of money but their parents - with their helpless egoism - refuse to give them attention. Their reaction is extreme. Janine lies to her mother that her father abused her sexually, Tom provokes his parents by dressing as a woman and demanding a gender transformation. They are desperate to break through the liveless passitivity of their environment. In my opinion, their parents' reaction to these faked incidents is even more extreme.
The only negative point about this film is that it's only a short film. The script and the idea behind it is amazing and the social background is very realistic indeed. So why only 16 minutes? This could have been an amazing indie feature film.
