Language version: OmeU
16-year-old Carmen lives with her mother Ruth and her brother Tito on the outskirts of Berlin. Her father, a Puerto Rican soldier, has long since disappeared, leaving behind only records and postcards. Between the gray apartment blocks and everyday life, Carmen dreams of becoming a dancer. With glamorous make-up and dazzling gowns, she stages her fantasies in front of the camera and imagines love and a different life. The film accompanies her with quiet attention and combines reality and fantasy to create a vivid counter-world - a world in which longing momentarily overcomes the boundaries of her everyday life.
