Beats
A series of attacks terrorizes Munich. Max, having survived the first shots fired at the audience in the electro club Beats, hides in a storage room with his new friend Sefi and other party attendees. The immediate danger puts the humanity of all trapped people to the test and Max has to decide whether he wants to save himself or try to save a stranger, as well. Shortly before arriving at home, Alexa hears of the attack on the club she left her brother Max at. She decides to go back, accompanied by her boyfriend Raphik, who joins her in the end despite his misgivings. This short film enables us to add our voice to a very topical conversation that concerns all of us: the fear of terrorism in the western world. Our characters are confronted with many extreme circumstances, during which questions about ethics and humanity turn their relationships upside down. They realize that compassion is more important than fear, even among all the danger and terror.
