A surprisingly well‑crafted, humor‑laden romp that balances genuine chemistry with light‑hearted eroticism. The English subtitles are clear and faithful, making it an accessible watch for non‑German speakers who enjoy a dash of cheeky mischief.

The film follows three long‑time friends—Lena, Max, and Jonas—who decide to “test the waters” of a weekend getaway together after a night of drinking and confessions. What starts as a casual conversation about “what‑ifs” quickly evolves into a series of playful, consensual encounters that explore both physical attraction and the emotional undercurrents of friendship. The title, Seitensprung (a literal “side jump”), captures the notion of stepping outside the usual bounds, but the narrative never feels exploitative; instead, it treats the characters’ decisions with a light‑hearted, almost sitcom‑like charm.
