Bubbles

When Fiete spends a weekend with his girlfriend Amiri at his family’s seaside cottage, he runs into his former best buddy Luca, whom he hasn’t seen for 10 years. Amiri soon realizes that Fiete is torn between his past and present life. She is not yet aware that Luca and Fiete, who were once like brothers, are haunted by a tragic event that shattered their friendship. In Luca’s presence, Amiri sees her boyfriend in a new light as they fall into old toxic patterns. When Amiri discovers Luca’s involvement with a right-wing political party, tensions rise. Not even Luca’s girlfriend Katja who arrives unexpectedly, can prevent the situation from escalating. BUBBLES explores how a polarized and divided society mixes personal and political conflicts, so even lifelong relationships can tare apart.

Directed by Sebastian Husak, Bubbles leans on a strong ensemble — Leonard Scheicher, Zeynep Bozbay, Johannes Nussbaum — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2025.
