Christmas is approaching, and with it, the desire for harmony, beauty, light and hope. Alex makes a radical decision. A day later she finds herself in the adolescent psychiatric emergency unit. She meets Lara, the striking daughter from an academic family, who's having acid flashbacks; shy Fedja, who is being bullied at school; and violent Timo. Under the care of the young psychiatrist Dr. Wolff, they will spend a Christmas together that none of them will ever forget. (Berlinale)

At first glance, 4 Kings has a strong theme and a great cast. Christmas is a holiday of peace and tranquility, but not for the main four characters, who have not been given the best by fate. All four young actors portray their characters really well and their performances are extremely convincing – each had a strong scene. The same goes for Clemens Schick as Dr. Wolff. Still, at some points I felt that the obvious potential was not fully exploited. The wounds of each character's past and present opened up and healed as the story progressed, but in some cases I felt they stayed too close to the surface. Nevertheless, this film still deserves the viewer's attention – if only for the cast.
