Nora, a shy 14-year-old Berlin girl who’s always tagging along with her big sister and her friends, will never forget this way too hot summer. Nora gets her first period, falls in love with another girl, learns to stand up for herself, and gets her heart broken for the first time. When this summer of change ends, things will never be the same again. Winner of four awards at Santa Domingo OutFest and nominated for the Crystal Bear and Teddy awards at the Berlin Film Festival, COCOON is a fresh, authentic, coming-of-age drama with a stunningly alluring narrative of feminine intimacy.
Germany, 2020, 95 minutes, Not Rated, In German with English subtitles, Directed by Leonie Krippendorff
