action

The 20-year-old Sarah is a student and loud-mouthed, non-conformist, tactless, provocative and mercilessly honest. At the same time she is lonely and feels misunderstood, hiding an almost depressive, melancholy side under her exaggerated manner. Sarah expects to be liked by others for these quirks, even if she is aware of her own intricacies. Therefore, she mainly uses her time looking for the perfect boyfriend, often disappointing, and doing odd jobs in the meantime. So she spends one night with her best friend Markus, who regrets it the next morning and therefore wants to throw her out of his apartment. Sarah is injured as a result, gets a fit of anger and throws her laptop out of the window, on which, among other things, the documents for Sarah's application as a graphic designer were. To save what can be saved, she takes the computer to the computer store. There she meets the employee Oliver, who falls in love with her. Therefore, Oliver meets Sarah more often until a relationship develops. Sarah rushes headlong into her feelings and confides all of her quirks to Oliver. When she brings him to a family dinner, Oliver gets into a discussion between Sarah and her father Dieter about botched job opportunities, future prospects and their inappropriate, provocative manner. To escape the situation, Sarah throws herself into Berlin's nightlife, destroying their relationship and am next morning her relationship with her father too.

criticism

The film service judged that the film “full of improvised dialogues and undisguised emotions portrays an egotistically circling child woman between immense demands and threatening compromises”. With “atmospheric Berlin impressions, well-dosed film music and amusing off-commentaries by the main character”, an “extreme spectrum of emotions is covered”.
