Liebe (2017)

Overview

Liebe. What begins as a trivial romantic etude about the lives of four young people who arrive on the island of Rügen to shoot a film about love gradually descends into a vortex of mutual suspicion, self-accusation, recriminations, and animalistic sex. When one of the two girls apparently drowns in the stormy waves of the Baltic Sea, the fates of those involved head toward an unexpectedly dark climax. The mysterious drama Liebe is a tribute to the goddess of cult and pagan times, when gods themselves entered into people. Whether they wanted it or not.
