Plot: Victoria is a young Spanish woman living in Berlin. After a night out she meets a couple of guys and decides to hang out with them. They get along fine, but Victoria has to work the next day. Not much later the group arrives at the cafe where she works, with an urgent request. She decides to help them out.

A night in Berlin, presented in a continuous take. It's a gargantuan undertaking that forces directors to get a little creative, so I'm naturally drawn to these types of films. I do think it gets in the way of the film a little, especially looking at the runtime, but overall I had a good time with Victoria.
The performances are solid (though the characters are a bit irritating, especially the interaction between the boys), the camera work is good (not in the least considering the limitations) and the tension ramps up during the second half of the film. It's all a bit slow and drawn out though, some tighter and smarter planning up ahead might've given the film a bit more drive. But worth a watch.
