They live in Berlin’s most chaotic shared apartment: Katharina, Ricky, Victoria, and Malou navigate the path to adulthood with stoic calm though they really don’t want to. Katharina certainly doesn’t; she has decided to voluntarily end her life by her eighteenth birthday. Ricky is into girls, yet somehow always falls for the wrong one. Victoria once struggled with eating disorders but is now more on the bipolar spectrum. And Malou hasn’t spoken a single word for years.
Together, they reach that one point in life where they must decide whether to shine—or burn out. In her directorial debut, Stella Marie Markert proves remarkably stylish, captivating with the morbid irony of everyday life. Not only because of its outstanding cast »Thanks for Nothing« is a fiercely lively breath of fresh air for domestic emerging cinema.
