In her favorite bar, young dressmaker Nore is known for her wild outfits and excessive lifestyle. When shy Jonna rescues her from a pushy man one evening, Nore spontaneously moves in with her. Between alcohol, parties and constant visits from men, a close friendship develops - until Jonna falls in love with one-night stand Michel. While Nore threatens to sink into the maelstrom of her constant partying, Jonna begins to see behind her friend's façade...

Director Hille Norden demonstrates an impressive sense of style and narrative depth. Her autobiographically influenced film combines the reality of young people's lives with questions about trauma, memory and healing - raw, honest and touching.
