Dreissig
Thirty
Vierundzwanzig Stunden mit einer Gruppe von Freunden, an irgendeinem
Freitag im Oktober, in Berlins hippem Arbeiterkiez Neukölln: Övünç leidet an einer Schreibblockade, Pascal und Raha haben
sich vor kurzem getrennt und versuchen Freunde zu bleiben. Kara vermietet ihre Wohnung ständig unter, um selbst in Bewegung
zu bleiben. Henner verbringt die Tage in einer Bar und trifft dort auf Anja. An diesem Abend feiern alle den 30. Geburtstag
von Övünç, und lassen sich durchs Nachtleben der Stadt treiben. Der Film porträtiert sechs junge Leute in ihrem Ringen mit
dem Alltagstrott in Berlin, und der bösen Realität des Älterwerdens.
In hip Berlin neighbourhood Neukölln, we experience 24 hours in the lives
of a group in their late twenties. While writer Övünç struggles with a feeling of emptiness, former lovers Pascal and Raha
try to let go of each other. Kara, Henner and Anja are also facing problems within their group of friends. In the evening,
they celebrate Övünç’s birthday, then leave the confines of their apartments for Berlin’s bustling nightlife. @Thirty@ captures
the mood of young urbanites on the verge of a quarter-life crisis. “It’ll all be alright”, Anja says when Kara collapses weeping
into her arms. Maybe it will – but when? (International Film Festival Rotterdam)
