Synopsis

With the passionate kind of crush that only 14-year-olds can muster, Angela and Arina dream themselves out of their Stockholm suburb to Berlin. Their goal: to see and touch their idol, Bill Kaulitz of the German pop band Tokio Hotel, at Madame Tussaud. But just as the girls have their goal in sight; their world seems to collapse around them. A film about friendship, infatuation and the heartbreak of growing up.
