Germany / 2020 / Feature, 99 min
In the multicultural microcosm of her Berlin neighbourhood, 14-year-old Nora is going through many first times. She gets her first period, smokes marijuana, reveals her love for other girls, and meets wild Romy. With her, the noisy area of Kreuzberg suddenly seems infinitely large and full of hidden beauties. While the summer heat sticks to her skin, Nora gives her heart to Romy and learns to take care of herself.
