CGiii Comment
Clara, 17, and her mother Dagmar have been living in the Berlin underground for years. Dagmar, a wanted former terrorist, finances their lives through robberies. After a botched robbery, the two have to flee. They find refuge in the home of Clara's foster mother Samira, with whom both Dagmar and Clara have a close relationship. The lives of the women are soon in danger: A corrupt BKA officer has evidence against Dagmar and is blackmailing her into committing further robberies. It soon becomes evident that due to her age, Dagmar cannot carry out the raids alone and is dependent on Clara and Samira.
Clara finds herself forced to take command. She uses the freedoms she gains to discover the cosmopolitan city and herself. One evening she meets Aleyna in one of Berlin's infamous techno clubs. As it turns out, Aleyna's family owns one of the shops that were robbed by Clara and Dagmar. Consequently, Aleyna and her family are facing financial ruin. In order to free themselves from this seemingly hopeless situation and regain their independence, Clara and Aleyna band together. A story of emancipation and love unfolds, told as a genre film.
