A small German town in the 90s. Florian,
our main protagonist is a delicate boy,
relentlessly bullied for his otherness. His pillar
of strength is Charlotte, a model student,
yearning for adventure. The two are secret
friends and occasional sex buddies. Although
far from perfect, the situation is in balance.
Until they meet Saheed, a charismatic
refugee, notorious for dealing drugs. For
Florian, he soon becomes an inseparable
friend who protects him from his bullies.
But when Charlotte and Saheed fall in
love, an explosive triangular relationship
emerges. Florian sacrifices his intimate bond
with Charlotte and engages in crimes to
show loyalty to his protector. Charlotte is
ostracised from her community for dating
a refugee. And Saheed faces legal trouble,
after Florian incites him to avenge his bullies.
Things go from bad to worse, when
Charlotte suffers a drug induced stroke
and is left paralysed. Frustration and anger
over this deeply unjust reality mounts,
the sky darkens, and things take a tragic
turn, leaving us to wonder: can the wrong
decisions be the right choice?
