Nichts Bereuen<br />
NO REGRETS<br />
Daniel is 19-years-old and finally has his high school days behind him. After a wonderful summer<br />
vacation, he is back in town and ready for life to start happening.<br />
Things start out alright, but all his shots seem to backfire. His father organized a boring community<br />
service job for him at the church, and his reunion with the love of his life, Luca, was a disaster.<br />
Luca is fascinating, breathtaking, exciting, and … way out of his league! But virgin Daniel has chosen<br />
her as his partner for his first sexual encounter. Although he made the decision four years ago,<br />
Luca still knows nothing about it. She just sees Daniel as a good friend. But things can’t go on like<br />
this, so Daniel decides to change his life dramatically. He changes jobs, an act he considers much<br />
easier than changing the love of his life. Or maybe not. He then meets Anna, a social worker, and<br />
for the first time he realizes that there are indeed alternatives to Luca. And all of the following<br />
small and not-so-small catastrophes help him to realize that life is what happens between it all. And<br />
that is why there is nothing to regret.<br />
