BLINDGÄNGER

HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE

In the heart of a European metropolis, the discovery of an unexploded World War II bomb triggers a large-scale evacuation and sparks a state of interpersonal crisis. As our protagonists confront their long-buried fears and traumas, unexpected and tender connections form amidst the chaos.

HIGHLY EXLPOSIVE offers a social snapshot through a multi-perspective lens, delicately portraying stories of fragility and the yearning for belonging and connection. It’s about people who stumble and fall, who get hurt, yet still manage to extend a hand and – if only for a moment – help each other.

The film explores the theme of bombs, not only the hundreds of thousands of World War II bombs still buried in Germany, but also the metaphorical bombs and fears that permeate our society, pushing us further apart.
