Lost in the German provinces and in search of stability, five young people find each other and live by their own rules. Katja, Sascha, Benni, Laila and Schöller: they run into each other, away from each other. They kiss each other, they hit each other. They love each other. Closeness and pain are one. But after this winter and the end of school, they will go their separate ways. NACKTE TIERE is a movie about the time when you could conquer the world. A time when you can eat punches without batting an eyelid because you know that someone is there to catch you. And about the pain of saying goodbye, of leaving it all behind. For something you don't even know yet.
