Here is a brand new trailer for the upcoming Cocoon, a new film set for release in cinemas and on-demand from December. Cocoon explores the trials and triumphs of female adolescence, and is described in the official notes as a raw and honest coming-of-age tale that every woman can relate to. The film debuted at the Berlinale back in February and is the second featured from Berlin-based writer/director Leonie Krippendorff.
Here’s a little more about the story.
In the heat of a shimmering Berlin summer, Nora spends her days as a third wheel to her older sister Jule and her best friend Aylin. They think and talk only of boys and how to keep thin, whilst wandering the vibrant city streets taking selfies and juvenile social media videos. Feeling the pressures to fit in, Nora goes along with her sister’s frolics – drinking, smoking and playing ‘smack the finger’ with the boys. But with their alcoholic mother largely absent, it is Jule who bears the brunt of Nora’s supervision. Nora looks up to Jule but still keeps and cares for caterpillars, an activity she and her mother once shared.
Cocoon is released in cinemas and on-demand from 4th December. Here’s the brand new trailer courtesy of Peccadillo Pictures. This looks like a really beautiful piece of work and I can’t wait to see it.
