Victoria, a young Spanish woman, dances through the Berlin scene with abandon. She meets Sonne and a bunch of friends outside. They quickly get chatting. Sonne and Victoria take a fancy to each other and slip away from the group at the first opportunity. But their tender flirting is rudely interrupted by the others because, for these pals, the night is far from over.

Biographie

Sebastian Schipper

Sebastian Schipper made his debut in theatre at 16, before studying acting at the Otto Falckenbreg School in Munich. He was then hired by Munich's Kammerspiele theatre. He wrote and directed some short films, before taking on "Gigantic" ("Absolute Giganten"), his first full-length feature. He followed up with "A Friend of Mine" ("Ein Freund von mir"), and "Sometime in August" ("Mitte Ende August"), based on Goethe's "Elective Affinities". He also shone in Tom Tykwer's "Three" ("Drei"). In 2013, he founded the MonkeyBoy production company, which produced "Victoria", his first film.
