What to Do in Case of Fire?

About This Movie

What to Do in Case of Fire? is a fascinating blend of action, comedy, and drama that captures the spirit of a bygone Berlin, specifically the chaotic 80s scene. The film follows six anarchist friends who once thrived on rebellion and creative freedom, living in the squats that dotted the city. The pacing is interesting, balancing laugh-out-loud moments with poignant reflections on friendship and loss. There’s a rawness to the film that’s hard to ignore, especially with its practical effects that feel genuine rather than overly polished. The performances, particularly from the leads, bring a certain depth and humanity to their characters, making you reflect on how the past shapes us. It’s a unique snapshot of a specific time and mindset, all wrapped in a very quirky package.
