Genetic Puzzle: Scientists Astonished by Human DNA Similarity to a Mouse's
Hop on the bandwagon and dive into RTL+'s latest young adult series, "Softies," sparked from the "Storytellers" competition. Three guys in their mid-20s (Marvin, Joshi, and Hassan) navigate self-doubt, masculinity, and the quest for identity in a shared apartment.
Marvin, starring Damian Hardung, exudes success with his perfect girlfriend Linda, but inside, he grapples with the pressure. Joshi, known as the carefree "Fuckboy" with constant motherly support, avoids commitment. And Hassan, plagued by insecurities, navigates his first meaningful relationship with Lotte, the fem-punk singer.
So, what does it mean to be a man now? That's the question these flawed, relatable characters seek to answer in this series. Creators Yves Guillaume and Jonathan Westphal explore real-world issues, striking a balance between gravity and humor without straying into melodrama. These lads are in search of themselves, their purpose, sometimes even their libido or the elusive great love. Above all, they discover the worth of true friendship, where they can openly share their fears and doubts without judgment.
If you're interested in watching the show, tune into RTL+ from June 6th. The series champions young talent (Damian Hardung, Aysha Joy Samuel, and more) and promises a fresh perspective on self-discovery and masculinity in the 21st century.
