When she doesn't reply, he later tries to kill himself. Paula doesn't know, however, that Charlotte often thinks of her too. The two girls get closer. Finally, Charlotte separates from Michael. Meanwhile, Paula's friend, Lilli, who is always looking for attention, tries to seduce Paula. But it's more about playing with Paula's feelings. The two girls sleep together. When Charlotte finds out about this at school, she escapes from class. Paula confronts Lilli at a party and almost drowns her in a lake.

Awards and nominations

criticism

"What director Monja Art succeeded in doing with her first feature film, many filmmakers fail in their entire lives - namely creating an atmosphere that gives you the feeling of being part of the plot as if in a daydream."

- Köksal Baltaci The press

"A comparable mixture of timelessness and proximity to the present - and that without the ingratiation of an alleged zeitgeist - you have to look for a long time in German cinema (and coming-of-age film)."

- Esther Buss, The Friday

"All of this is part of the performance of the director Monja Art, who shot this film so professionally that one could easily misunderstand her as an old hand in the Austrian film business."

- Klaus Erler, 6020 City Magazine Innsbruck
