Movie description:
Basti is a boy on the verge of puberty. He communicates exclusively with his cell phone and lives in his own anonymous world. At home he’s hassled by his older brothers. He matures without a father and clings to his mother. By chance, he becomes acquainted with Nicola, who is an older, open-minded girl that shows interest in the extra-ordinary Basti and accepts his individuality. Basti interprets Nicola’s interest incorrectly. A turbulent evening in a youth-disco destroys his emotional world. His clumsy emotional overtures are not returned by Nicola. His brother has harshly deceived him. The world in which Basti surrounds himself falls apart.
