Anna and Tom, a millennial expat couple, seem to have it all in Berlin—a vibrant apartment, creative careers, and a life filled with parties and social media allure. Yet, beneath the polished surface, they grapple with dissatisfaction and a lack of purpose. As their friends settle down and their political efforts feel futile, Anna and Tom embark on increasingly radical quests for authenticity. Vincenzo Latronico’s “Perfection,” translated by Sophie Hughes, is a sharp and poignant exploration of modern emptiness and the search for meaning.
