A wild ride though the hedonistic Berlin party scene, based on director Helene Hegemann's controversial novel written at 17. Winner of the Sundance cinematography award.
"16-year-old Mifti lives in a Berlin apartment with her half-siblings, is largely ignored by her wealthy father, and struggles to connect with her peers. School, too, seems like a waste of time, so Mifti immerses herself in the world of adults and parties, drugs, love affairs and casual sex. This reckless life brings its pleasures, but also a great deal of pain, especially when Mifti falls hopelessly in love with a woman much older than her." (Sydney Film Festival)

"[A] formally impressive but thematically slippery directorial debut."
