Our take

A seductive coming-of-age tale of sexual awakening, this luminous Berlin-set drama from Leonie Krippendorf simmers with summer vibes. Featuring a stellar lead performance from Lena Urzendowsky, the refreshingly authentic Cocoon serves up a dreamily poignant take on young romance and self-discovery.
