    Brief synopsis

    Mona, Theo and Hanna live in a villa in the green idyll on the outskirts of Berlin. She is a successful lawyer tied to her home due to a recent car crash. Her husband Theo, an attempted author with a writer's block, lives at Mona's expense. Teenage daughter Hanna dreams of a model life, struggling for recognition and attention.

    When Alina, the daughter of Mona's childhood friend, moves into the villa for a few weeks, more and more problems surface.

    While Theo falls for Alina's Lolita- like attraction, Mona dives deeper and deeper into a maelstrom of alcohol and depression. Obviously helpless do deal with their own fate and take care for one another, the small family inevitably heads for disaster.
