Shorts Attack in April 2025

8 films in 90 minutes – with German subtitles

Variations of identities and personalities: Sometimes the hairstyle determines your existence, sometimes dancing saves your self-confidence. Cycling stimulates blood flow to the brain, attention to details is the solution to panic attacks and a gender change has an exciting side effect. Be careful with drugs, it can get colorful.
