"This is the film that I would have liked to have seen myself as a 13-year-old." - Director Anika Mätzke

Without telling her mother, 13-year-old Jonja embarks on a vacation with the family of her best friend, Paul. The days by the lake are exciting and beautiful. Jonja falls in love with a girl, and her friendship with Paul becomes even more intense. She relishes the time away from her family routine, until the lie is eventually exposed, and Paul questions their friendship. Anika Mätzke precisely captures the inner world of adolescents, subtly addressing issues related to class and sexual orientation.
