Lola, a 16-year-old teenager struggling in school, gets the opportunity to study for a semester at a school in Germany. She wants to go, but her family, overwhelmed by her older sister’s bipolar disorder, is in debt and unable to afford the trip. The instability and strain in her relationship with her sister drive Lola to seek new experiences, clinging to them as a way to make the trip possible — and to escape, even briefly, from the exhausting dynamics of her family life.
