The Berlin Film of the Year: Drift on the life of a young new Berliner in the techno scene

The new Berlin film "Drift" causes a sensation in the capital. The story is about Moritz, a 22-year-old who moves to Berlin, to be with Jonas, but quickly realizes that his partner does not want a firm bond. Moritz then starts looking for new experiences and drifts through the diverse Berlin scene, from sex dates to techno clubs to community. Already at the Berlinale 2023 it became clear that "Driftter" is considered the Berlin film of the year. The film starts in the cinema on November 2 and promises an urgent representation of the attitude to life in the German capital.

The main actor Lorenz Hochhuth and director Hannes Hirsch gave further insights into the creation of the film in an interview. They explained that the choice of the title "Drift" was deliberately chosen to symbolize the journey and experience of the main character in Berlin. The plot of the film mainly takes place near the Mehringplatz, a lively quarter that is typical of the Berlin atmosphere. In addition, Hochhuth and Hirsch emphasized that the film not only shows the glamorous side of the city, but also the challenges and conflicts that Moritz is confronted with during his stay.

"Driftter" is particularly expected by a young audience who can identify with the topics of freedom, self -discovery and relationships. The film is intended to convey an authentic picture of Berlin and its residents, even if the story is a fictional action. Berliners can look forward to a gripping and thrilling cinema premiere that skillfully captures the city's lifestyle.

According to a report by the Berliner Zeitung, “Driftter” will probably be a success on the box office and in the Berlin cultural scene. The film could further increase interest in Berlin as a cultural center and attraction for young people.
