A tale of doomed romance and sinister intrigue.

Four young adults share a flat, the Universe is on their laptops. ‘Shapes’ is a dark and delirious comedy. It is a collection of scenes from the everyday life of a household where the Internet has broken all boundaries and invaded reality.

A young American couple, Mark and Olivia, are expecting their first child. Before that, they want to make their dream of a trip to Europe come true. They book private accommodations through an Internet portal and embark on their 4-weeks-journey. On their arrival in Germany Elisabeth picks them up at the airport. She is the daughter of the landlady of Mark and Olivias first accommodation, a tiny house, located at a beautiful lake, in the hometown of Olivia's great-grandparents. They learn that the 82-years old landlady is in the hospital and dying. Elisabeth drives Mark and Olivia to the house. And then the two young people spend their first night in Germany. A night in which Mark gets to know the owner in a special way. The next morning, it is strangely quiet over the house by the lake. And no one will know so quickly what happened a few hours ago.

The morning after a house party, straight-identifying best friends, Grace and Sophie, wake up to the realisation that they’ve just slept together.

Two strangers have an awkward post coital encounter.

Two strangers have an awkward post coital encounter.

Escaping a religious community, receiving mixed messages from a much younger call girl, a one night stand that breeds results and a frantic wait for a baby on the way. What connects these uplifting stories is the all too human desire to embrace the future when the present is in doubt.
