In our latest SOONERCAST episode, we talked to director Jannik Weiße and the leading actors Lukas Redfern (Vincent) and Karlotta Henke (Gabriela) about their film BABYOBY. The film, which has already been enthusiastically received at several film festivals, subtly but powerfully highlights the challenges of growing up, from finding one's identity and images of masculinity to the constraints of social classes.

In the podcast, Jannik Weiße gives us exciting insights into the making of BABYBOY. He explains how he became aware of the topic of masculinity through personal observations and conversations and why the representation of social classes is particularly important to him. For Jannik, the question at the center of the film is how young people deal with the expectations of those around them – a challenge that Vincent, played by Lukas Redfern, in particular has to face.
