Status: In distribution

Unterschiedliche kulturelle Hintergründe und der sterile Wohnblock in der Vorstadt sind nicht das Problem von Linda und Sevilay: Das Problem der beiden 15-jährigen Freundinnen sind ihre verkorksten Eltern. Am liebsten würden die beiden Teenager abhauen. An Lindas Geburtstag kommt es zum Eklat.

Diversi retroscena culturali e la sterile palazzina di periferia non sono il problema di Linda e Sevilay: il vero problema delle amiche quindicenne sono i loro genitori inibiti. La cosa che le due teenager preferirebbero di più fare sarebbe svignarsela. Il giorno del compleanno di Linda si arriva allo scandalo.
