Amateur Teens
It's only your first time once.
Directed by Niklaus Hilber
Produced by Leaves & Leaches Pictures, A Film Company
A sobering coming-of-age drama that examines how social media distorts adolescent sexuality and peer dynamics, culminating in tragedy where moral culpability remains deliberately unclear.
A group of normal 14-year-old teenagers at a secondary school in Zürich with the normal yearnings for love and acceptance. But the power of social media, with its high-gloss selfies and perpetual pressure towards cooler and sexier, increasingly forces the kids to deny their true feelings. So a tragedy runs its course, one in which it is almost impossible to differentiate between perpetrator and victim, guilt and innocence.
