Time Out

A bunch of men go on a short vacation and set their inhibitions aside. Experiments, rivalry and new loves lead them to redefine who they are and how they view life. Five men from an amateur soccer team go for a short trip to a lake in Brandenburg. Out of boredom, very soon, they forget their inhibitions, reveal a lot about themselves and make themselves vulnerable, resulting in various conflicts. One of the men meets a much younger woman who rekindles a long suppressed longing in him and makes him take a fateful decision.

Directed by Sven Wegner, Time Out leans on a strong ensemble — Robert Meller, Mario Irrek, Vivien LaFleur — 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 2011.
