CGiii Comment

A confused teen - in every way.

There is a sinister streak running throughout - which adds to the discomfort that the main character and viewer both feel.

It is effective - it just all becomes a little redundant when a solid resolution fails to materialise.

The(ir) Blurb...

Armin Steeb is adrift: just finished with school, living with his middle-class parents, clueless about finding work. He tries connecting with a girl, he engages in risky sex with strangers in public toilets, he goes to job interviews. He also sends an anonymous letter to a local Munich newspaper, claiming responsibility for a fatal road accident. He fitfully pursues notoriety as he goes through life nearly without affect. What will it take to get Armin to smile?
