action
14-year-old Lilith actually looks like a normal teenager. However, she is the daughter of the devil, who has its headquarters in a high-rise in Frankfurt am Main . Lilith actually feels her life as hell because her strict father hardly gives her any freedom; he also thinks she is too young to be a devil. She would like to be really bad, but she is only allowed to do that on the Internet and under the supervision of her private tutor. Because she is bored, she wants to go out into the world and show what she can do. So she negotiates a deal with her father and is allowed to go back to earth for a week. If she manages to seduce a good person into evil within this week, she can stay there. Otherwise, she'll have to go back to boredom and take a job in her father's accounting department.
In the tranquil town of Birkenbrunn, Lilith's father chooses the kind-hearted Greta Birnstein as a victim. Lilith moves into quarters with Greta's warm-hearted family. Greta is the eldest daughter of the Birnstein family and, according to Lilith, a strange girl. Lilith starts her mission first. However, Greta is a more difficult case than expected, as she has no spark of malice in her. In addition, Lilith faces another problem at school in the form of her classmate Samuel, with whom Lilith falls in love. Time is of the essence, Lilith must finally deliver results. Her father wants to come to the school festival to see the evil work of his daughter and the chaos she has created. After a friendship develops between Lilith and Greta, Lilith's original plan fades more and more into the background.

reception
Jörg Brandes ( RND ) found that director Marco Petry had a fine feel for timing. Although he overdraws his characters, he anchor them in reality so that their identification potential is increased without neglecting the comedy. Lilith served her sayings and meanness wonderfully dry, Emma Bading delivered a strong performance.
