In the new school, Charly first has to orientate herself, the pecking order has to be found out and the bitches have to be identified. She soon finds a friend in the person sitting next to her, Hanna. Charly discovers a sensitive side behind the tough shell of the attractive class rascal Sulzer. When Charly condoms fall out of her pocket, "sex is like a fart in the room," says Sulzer. On the other hand is the also dashing but introverted Italian Carlo, who is the exact opposite of Sulzer's heartthrob and lives on the stairs next door. Carlos 'best friend, Sulzer, who stays seated, invites Charly to one of his cool parties in his parents' villa. Both Carlo and Sulzer also have to cope with difficult background conditions - Carlo has to play the minder for his alcoholic mother, Sulzer's parents are constantly absent.

Awards and nominations

reception

The daily newspaper Der Standard wrote that Dominik Hartl would allow himself a pleasant amount of time for the development of his main character and would take up the different moods, whereby he would concentrate on everyday life that determines life. More important than the big one that has to be decided in the end are the decisive moments.

Heide Rampetzreiter said in the daily newspaper Die Presse that Dominik Hartl would stage lightly, that the film would rarely plunge into the depths and sometimes stay on the surface. The Viennese school is staged like a high school in a US comedy. The film adaptation of Gabi Kreslehner's novel appears shortened in many places, especially in the dialogues. The film has more weight where Hartl brought in his own youthful experiences. Hartl said: "Everything that had to do with sex was not in the book".
