17-year-old Fanny comes from Strasbourg to Leipzig for a language study trip, where she visits Lena, the daughter of one of her mother's friends. Lena is initially unenthusiastic and prefers to devote herself to her own life and activist aspirations. To attract Lena's attention, Fanny invents an exciting life for herself. It works and as the two grow closer, the problems in their families come to light. When Lena comes to Strasbourg a little later, however, she discovers the truth about Fanny's life.
