“The idea just was there… Just a plain sentence: I bet you cannot kill a human being.”

The graduation film of German filmmaker Niels Laupert, Seven Days Sunday is based on a true story that occurred in 1996.
The film tracks Adam and Tommek, two teenage boys living in the slums of Leipzig. On a random Sunday, bored of petty crimes they decide to up the ante and make a wager, the stakes being the highest they've known: someone else's life.
After failing and wounding one victim, the boys succeed on their second attempt - killing an innocent, and sending their lives into a spiral.
