About the film

Sixteen-year-old Leni grows up in poverty, shaped by her mother Jana’s alcoholism and constant financial worries. When mother and daughter go to return their collected bottles at the local supermarket, Leni runs into her classmate Sophia. Sophia belongs to a clique of wealthy girls who, unlike Leni, seem to drift through life without a care.
