Synopsis

16-year old Frede goes with her queer older sister to a hardcore gay techno party to try and win back her ex-girlfriend Rosa. When this goes wrong, she decides to follow her sister’s less romantic advice on how to get over your ex and not be a “babydyke”. This leads to Frede violating her own boundaries and results in a big confrontation between the two sisters. In the end Frede can finally go through with her original plan – but does she really want her ex back?
