Aspiring writer Leon plans to spend the summer at his best friend’s holiday home by the Baltic Sea to work on his novel, but the house comes with unexpected guests and emotions run high as the parched forest around them catches fire.

Christian Petzold returns after the beautiful Undine with this superb, acidly funny, and multi-layered new film, that addresses questions of creativity, relationships and climate emergency. Afire won the Silver Bear (Grand Jury Prize) at the 2023 Berlin International Festival.
