Brief synopsis

POSTKIDS is a coming-of-age story, a fast-paced anti-heroine journey and an odyssey through the city of Wuppertal.
Through Luka‘s (18) eyes, we experience what it means to grow up from one moment to the next. She wants to leave. Preferably forever. Finally, on the night of her prom, she plans to tell her best friends Aleks, Freya and Tasnim about it. However, a disastrous group dynamic leads to them leaving a stranger bleeding on a parking deck. The night marks a rite of passage. It runs like sand through their fingers and drives the four into a space of repression that brings them to the edge of their friendship.
