Ex (2020) Synopsis

While the dancefloor is mythologised as a space for connection, any committed creature of the night knows the real action takes place in the toilet cubicle - at once the club's engine room and its "confessional" booth. EX depicts the realities of these sacred spaces with a nauseating intimacy, bundling us in with Diana and a flurry of gorgeous party people for one night of sublime chaos. Opening the door to Berlin's notoriously private nightlife, EX invites us to see more than reckless hedonism. As its characters snort lines and share stories about lives lived at the fringes of society, a deeper connection unravels, sparking soul-baring moments of clarity, acceptance, and unapologetic truth.—George Markakis
