Sixteen-year-old Mila (Derya Akyol) has spent three months in a psychiatric ward after a traumatic incident. While everyone thinks she tried to take her own life by running into traffic, Mila believes that's a misconception. She’s just a product of a messed-up world, made worse by a sex tape of her sent around by popular student Basti (Kosmas Schmidt). Now back in society, Mila finds herself in a love triangle with Jannis (Eren M. Güvercin), a troubled classmate, while still searching for Ali (Sira Anna-Faal), the girl she fell for in the clinic. As Mila's life spirals further, she gets pulled into a dangerous world of drugs and violence.

This event will take place at CinemaxX 3.
