Beset by anxiety, a young musician’s fateful encounter with Death himself leads to a neon-saturated journey to the end of the night.
Marko Mandic’s turn as a streetwise Mephistopheles is equal parts seedy and seductive in this debut feature from Xaver Böhm. Berlin is an intoxicating profusion of electric colour, intercut with luscious, Baroque-inspired imagery, ensuring this underworld is to be enjoyed with a devilish appetite. When Yuri (Noah Saavedra) crosses paths with Nietzche-reading, erotic dancer Nina (Vanessa Loibl), the promise of this nocturnal world may just be enough to steer him away from his fears.
