Friday Night

Freitag Abend

Germany / Fiction / 00:09:34 min

Phil is a young man, one of many. Parties and drugs are part of his everyday life - until they are not. After a wild night of partying and dangerous mixed consumption, he is confronted with harsh consequences: He has two epileptic seizures. His story is not special, not unique, it happens again and again - with a similar outcome, or much worse. It is the story of a supposedly harmless evening that leads to a trauma, a story of excessive drug use and its harshest consequences but also a story with an important message and a happy ending - an ending that is not granted to everyone like Phil, but can be granted to everyone who realize how precious their lives are.
