Synopsis:

A hip photographer and a young skateboarder find their whirlwind romance complicated by the discovery that they are about to be become parents in director/screenwriter Felicitas Korn's contribution to the 2008 Cinequest Film Festival. Keen-eyed shutterbug Nadja (Henriette Heinz of Paths in the Night) has just landed a gig with the trendiest magazine in town, and in order to celebrate she heads out to the local disco. There, on the dance floor, Nadja locks eyes with twenty year-old skateboarder Darius. At first Darius is somewhat put off by Nadja's forthrightness, but it doesn't take long for the pair to discover that they are true soul mates. Soon thereafter, Nadja and Darius find their passion put to the test as Nadja attempts to prove herself in her new position. As if career issues weren't enough for the fledgling couple to contend with, the revelation that Nadja has gotten pregnant challenges them both in ways that they had never anticipated - at least not at this point in their lives.

Strident young photographer Nadja (Henriette Heinze) is a creature of uncompromising independence - at least until she meets handsome Darius (Golo Euler) during one of her regular nights of hectic clubbing. What begins as a standard druggy one-nighter becomes an all-consuming passion - with all the danger that implies. Beautifully played by Heinze, Nadja's rapid descent from the dizzy heights of romance will resonate with anyone who's ever made an error of emotional judgement (and who hasn't?). In her frank, stylish debut feature, writer/director Felicitas Korn displays infectious energy, startling emotional insight and a rare command of that most awkward of filmmaking challenges: the sex scene.

Drama. A talented photography student is at the beginning of a promising career when she falls for a man six years her junior and embarks on a passionate relationship with him. The intensity of her emotions and the relationship lead to her losing her job and her university place.
