Q&A with director Sebastian Husak after the film

Bubbles is tightly crafted, brilliantly acted indie cinema from Germany. The film tells a gripping story about the beliefs we use to construct our identities - and how those beliefs begin to falter quickly, when we're confronted with ghosts from the past. Fiete and his girlfriend Amiri go to a holiday home by the sea, where Fiete's childhood friend unexpectedly shows up. Suddenly, the dynamic between the three shifts, and old stories resurface - stories that Fiete had long suppressed and that don't quite align with Amiri 's image of him.

The dynamic between the three of them suddenly changes and old stories are brought up that Fiete had long since suppressed - and which don't fit in with the image Amiri has of him.
