Experiencing Interruptions?

Rave Sin Love

Sofia, a 25-year-old who left her promising future as a lawyer in Colombia, arrives in Berlin to chase a dream of love with Lucas, her charismatic DJ boyfriend. But the man she finds is far from the one she knew—dark, controlling, and abusive. One night, trapped in an illegal rave inside a WWII bunker organized by Lucas, Sofia begins to unravel the truth.

Escaping the chaos, they find themselves by an eery lake. As they attempt to reconnect, Sofia confronts the sacrifices she made for an illusion of love. In a moment of defiance, she breaks free. As Lucas searches for her in panic, she makes the decision she had feared for so long.

Director Statement

How much would you sacrifice for love? Would you abandon your
whole life? Give up on your dreams? Rave, Sin, Love deals with the
moment of disillusion. When all our hopes break and we feel a
stinging pain as if we have been stabbed. And we have been in a
way. Backstabbed, betrayed. And by the person we loved the
most. Suddenly, we go from thinking their love is the most
valuable resource on earth to thinking they’re scary monsters
that want to kill us, and jumping in a lake seems like the saner
choice even though we still love them with our whole hearts.
This is a story that many latin american women can relate to
when they move to Europe for their partner, but they end up
turning into someone they can’t recognize.
