A documentary about friendship, sisterhood, and the pursuit of dreams follows the lives of six spirited teenage girls embarking on the journey of adolescence in Eberswalde, a small town in eastern Germany. What they all share is having fled their homelands in Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Kurdistan, and Romania, seeking peace in the provincial town. They face not only the typical challenges of teenage life – friendships, school, and self-discovery – but also the complexities of adapting to a new culture and environment. Despite these challenges, they find solace and strength in their bond as they strive to carve out a place in their new home and community. Through encounters with inspiring artists, they discover their own creative ways to overcome hidden discrimination. (Zlín Film Festival)
