Brief synopsis
Nine-year-old Moni experiences the hard and rough dynamics of a group of adolescents and the painful process of growing up, while the adult dramas in the family play out in the background.
On weekends, a young family's farmhouse becomes the meeting place of a circle of friends. The impetuous group of children develops its own, childishly brutal dynamics. Power games and constant trials of strength drive them forward. Thus, they engage in war games, shoot at each other, trick each other and make fun of each other. Moni, as the youngest of the group, is at the bottom of the socio-dynamic food chain.
The appeal to her older sister's friend and the question of whether her father is really Moin's father form the ground noise of a weekend that seems to stretch on for an eternity.
A film about the painful beauty of growing up.
