Abikalypse
The four friends Musti (Reza Brojerdi), Hannah (Lea van Acken), Yannick (Jerry Hoffmann) and Tom (Lucas Reiber) could not be more different. But they have one thing in common: They are all pretty nerdy misfits who only just survived school thanks to their mutual support. For graduation, they want to prove it to everyone and promise nothing less than the craziest party of the year. However, the closer the legendary party gets, the more the friends realize that there seems to be something between them. Be it unspoken feelings, hurt pride or fear of the future. When the big day of the party finally dawned, the four of them were no longer just about celebrating, but about saving what is most important to them: their friendship!
