Wild and free: With SMALLTOWN GIRL, director Hille Norden has established herself as a new star in 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.

In her favorite bar, the young seamstress Nore (Dana Herfurth) is known above all 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 in an attempt to find a new path into the future together.
