Uninteresting, confusing and amateur

This film is about the development and evolution of the friendship between two teenage boys.

I can't quite believe it won the best short film awards. After watching it, I have no idea what "Freunde" is about. The film may capture their sexual tension, but that is really all there is to it. The plot, if there is one, is uninteresting. The ending is one big mystery to me, as there is a sudden big twist involving a girl. The whole film looks so amateur and unfinished.

"Freunde" is just every day events being plainly presented on film. There is little character development, and the two teenagers are unengaging. I am afraid I have wasted 20 minutes on this film.
