Synopsis

Thirteen-year-old Sarah (Muriel Wimmer) is no stranger to sex and one-night stands, nor is her sixteen-year-old best friend Charly (Antonia Putiloff). It's only when Sarah meets the older Lukas (Joseph Konrad Bundschuh) online that she begins to desire something beyond casual hookups — but is that what Lukas wants? At the same time Charly has to figure out what she is to do about her pregnancy and her desire to find a father for the unborn child.
