    • Synopsis
    • Melli (19) is being picked up from juvenile hall by her dad. After a good 5 months in there she promised herself: no more trouble. But first she realizes that someone specific is not there to pick her up – her boyfriend Yuri, the one being responsible for all that trouble.
      On top of that her dad had already packed all her stuff and insists on moving out and finding a new place for herself.
      She runs to Aylin (20) who lives together with her parents and her little brother Ayhan. Tasha (20) and Meriem (18) also join – the gang is complete.
      They all decide to go downtown to that one club. Tasha’s brother Marlon is a bouncer at that club so it’s pretty easy to get in. That night sure is going to be epic, but of course not without some good old rumble. Even the train personnel’s got nothing to laugh about as the girls get caught fare dodging. The situation escalates, they end up escaping.
      Some minutes later they find themselves in a stolen car. With Meriem driving, they race down the streets grand theft auto style. Even their 180 handbrake turn is picture perfect to the dismay of the car owner. Again the situation is about to end up in a fight.
      A little later: reconciliation fries at their favorite spot - with the car owner and his buddies. Some more sparkling wine and the temperature rises again until Aylin drops a bomb telling Melli that she won’t be here for much longer because she got accepted to Hildesheim university. Melli completely loses it: just one day out of juvenile hall and her girlfriends already don’t give a damn. One is just all over guys, the next risks getting them all busted by jacking a car and now Aylin is just letting her down, for a completely ridiculous future.
      Melli runs away. Arriving at the club all by herself she spots Yuri waiting in line.
      Yuri acts like nothing happened. Melli is confused and wants to know why he never called her. The answer seems to wait just right behind him in line - his apparent new, pregnant girlfriend Soffi who already starts talking bad about her. Melli just can’t take it anymore and starts beating the crap out of Yuri. The other girls arrive just in time to prevent worse things from happening. Still: chaos. Soffi threatens them to call the cops.
      The girls take off, calling a cab. The night had just begun but Melli finally arrived, happily falling asleep on Aylins shoulder in the back seat of the cab.
