Semi-documentary film about the everyday life of a 16-year-old schoolgirl in Berlin who lives with her single mother on the outskirts of West Berlin. Her father, a soldier from Puerto Rico, has left the family.

Director Elfie Mikesch visualizes these dream states using stylistic devices reminiscent of advertising films.
