–Synopsis
Three teenage girls from Vienna – Yesmin, Bella, and Nati – have fun making a YouTube video that unexpectedly makes them famous overnight, especially among Kurdish Muslims. Yesmin, the only one of the friends who is Kurdish herself, begins to distance herself more and more from her culture. Nati and Bella, on the other hand, seem fascinated by it. When the girls meet two young Kurdish patriots, the situation threatens to escalate. The three rebellious girls get caught in the turbulent network of social media, family relationships, and self-discovery.
