Different cultural backgrounds and the sterile apartment building in the suburbs are not Linda and Sevilay’s problem. The problem for these two 15-year-old friends is their messed up parents. What the two teenagers really want to do is run away. Things come to a head on Linda’s birthday.

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.
