- Synopsis:
It's the Spring of 1995, soon after the closure of the open drug scene in the center of Zurich (Letten). Mia (Luna Mwetzi), an eleven-year old girl, and her mother Sandrine (Sarah Spale), move into a subsidised apartment in an idyllic town in the Zurich Oberland. Unfortunately for Mia, this "new beginning" will be short lived and the ghosts of the past will brutally return. Sandrine is an addict who has nevertheless managed to obtain the custody of her daughter, attached to her by an invisible string that seems impossible to break. To survive the unspeakable, Mia finds refuge in an imaginary world in which music seems to be the only possible consolation. With time, the absence of her mother is filled by a gang of children who try to face the harshness of the present with an improvised solidarity. How can you help a mother who lives solely for her next hit? Will the love of a daughter save a mother on the brink? And most of all, is it fair to ask a little girl to do so? - Actors:
