Five teenagers who couldn't be more different have to spend an entire Saturday in detention together. What they have done to 'deserve' this will only gradually become clear, as will who they actually are. Just like who they actually are. A hooligan, a 'princess', a goth girl, a nerd and a sportsman. They all reduce themselves to their image and don't particularly like each other. But this one day together will change everything.

Perhaps THE teen movie classic, THE BREAKFAST CLUB has made history and is still quoted countless times today. Everything about this movie, from the clothes to the soundtrack, represents the 1980s - and some scenes and characters are also relatively questionable from today's perspective. Nevertheless, the film takes its characters seriously as young people who are put under pressure by social and family demands and seek their own rebellious way of dealing with them.

CN: Contains depictions of sexualized violence and deals with suicide.

ENG: Five teenagers who couldn't be more different have to spend a saturday together in detention. They embody their cliché roles as rowdy, "princess", goth-girl, nerd and athlete and don't particularly like each other - but this day will change everything.

Maybe THE teen film cult classic. Everything about THE BREAKFAST CLUB screams 80's: The look, the soundtrack but also some anachronistic ideas of the script. Nevertheless, it depicts young people who are fighting against the expectations their families and the society at large bestows upon them and keeps getting referenced until this day.

On 15.09. as a double feature with TYPHOON CLUB at 17:00 / On 22.09. as a single screening.
