In her favorite bar, the young dressmaker Nore (Dana Herfurth) is known for her wild outfits - and for going to bed with an extremely large number of men. One evening, shy Jonna (Luna Jordan) of all people saves her from a pushy candidate and spontaneously offers to move in with her. Jonna is just as dazzled by Nore's beauty as she is by her unbridled lifestyle, which leaves its mark on their shared life: Alcohol, fags and a lot of gentleman visitors, who are shared sisterly and always end up outside the door before breakfast. The two women have a lot of fun - until Jonna falls in love with one-night stand Michel (Jakob Geßner). When Nore threatens to drown in the maelstrom of her permanent party utopia, Jonna begins to doubt this lifestyle - and to investigate the reasons for her best friend's behavior. Hand in hand, the two women embark on a journey into Nore's past and try to find a new, shared path into the future.

Wild and free: With SMALLTOWN GIRL, director Hille Norden proves herself to be a new star in the sky of young German cinema. With a radical stylistic will, her autobiographical film links the reality of young people's lives today with timeless questions about traumas that reverberate through the generations. Her film creates spaces of remembrance that only great cinema can do with such ruthless honesty and empathetic precision. A thrilling trip of a movie that entertains and yet dares to go where it hurts.
