Furchtlos

A poetic and cinematic coming-of-age story about the longing to be loved, the strength to break free from unbearable circumstances, and the courage to take life into one's own hands. Bess lives in difficult conditions. She is a minor, the second child in a foster family, and recently found herself unexpectedly pregnant. Her social worker Henry is nice but ineffective. Her foster mother Lisa cares for her but is also meticulous about the costs of her care. Bess's best friend Esh is left, but she is currently struggling with her own problems. The story began so promisingly with Boy, her lover, except for the fact that during their first encounter, he crashed his car into a cemetery wall and then stole her bicycle. "Fearless" is a poignant tale about the desire to be loved and the courage it takes to free oneself from intolerable situations.
