Wachsüchtig

Wachsüchtig

Novo (20) doesn't want to sleep another second. After five years in a coma, he's burning up with the urge to catch up on what he's missed - and is in danger of losing touch with the present altogether.

Novo (15) exists. Without much enthusiasm. When one morning sports teacher Eberlin unexpectedly bites the dust, he gets a young trainee teacher instead of the old bully - and his existence has a meaning. Novo is head over heels in love, and when he realizes that Mrs. Fischer (26) is also secretly eyeing his ass, he can hardly be stopped. He overdoes it in a sports lesson on the high bar to provoke her and has an accident.
Five years later, Novo (20) wakes up from his coma.
What is yesterday for him is a nostalgic memory for the rest of the world. His father, his friends and even Mrs. Fischer - they have all changed. Novo quickly realizes how much of life he has missed. Existential fears come over him. He wants to jump out of his wheelchair, escape from his body and run away screaming. More and more he falls prey to the mania of having to make up for everything he has missed. Novo doesn't want to miss another second of his life ...
A fever dream of missed youth. Of the panic of a scattered animal that has lost its herd. A blind flight through the thicket of puberty. A story about awakening. About growing up. About loneliness. And redemption.
