Contents/Summary

Summary
As the only female intensive delinquent in Berlin, the most serious category of juvenile offenders within the local youth prison regime, Kübra has been plagued and hated since the age of 14. But in reality she just longs to be an ordinary girl. She takes us on a journey into her past, to the place where she grew up and knows like no other: the woman’s prison in Berlin where she lived for almost four and a half years. When Kübra was detained for the first time she met a young woman from Ethiopia, Salema, whose life story over the course of the film is closely linked with that of Kübra’s. In their time together, the two experience an unusual prison director, Matthias Blümel. Kübra's relationship with the prison director goes beyond the prison walls; an extraordinary relationship between two people who come from opposing sides of society. With Blümel’s unconventional views on prison methods and Kübra and Salema’s unusual intelligence, outrageous views on life and sweeping humor - this film takes us on a touching yet deeply disturbing journey.
