Shorts Attack in Dezember 2026

7 films in 90 minutes – with German subtitles

A music-filled journey around the world with surprising plot twists leads us to people facing challenges in their daily lives: A worker discovers the joy of dancing outdoors, a young mother dares to escape from her dormitory, culture reveals itself as a transformative force, identities blossom into self-confidence, and the concept of creation is redefined. The seven films embody visionary dedication; they celebrate the joy of togetherness and the responsibility we share.
