Out of the Blue
Marie and her best friend Tara (both 17) are apprentices at a rural German hotel, passing the time with TikTok videos and dreams of viral fame. When a film shoot comes to the hotel, Marie is fascinated, Tara suspicious. After the main actress drops out, Marie seizes the chance to step in—only to realize too late that the shoot is a social media campaign for a far-right party. As Marie pushes her limits for attention and success, Tara tries to stop her, escalating to drastic measures. In the end, friendship and morality collide amid the chaos.
