Boyz follows three Gen Z boys through the day and night of their student life in Munich. Slowly, the three friends begin to move in different directions, pursue individual goals, develop their own values. And yet they all share a common challenge: the search for recognition, love and sex. Their special intimacy with each other seems unaffected by taboos and stereotypes of becoming a man, so the three boys cuddle in the daybed as a matter of course and introduce us to a new concept of male friendship. With humour and lightness, the film celebrates the last weeks of a shared youth in a musical, fast and colourful way. With an affectionate look at the young protagonists, we look behind the façade of penis jokes at the real insecurities of young men – and thus a little bit at ourselves.
