World

The 16-year-old twins Karl and Jim have grown up with Frida, almost like siblings. They spend the holidays with their parents by the sea in Portugal. But nothing is the same as it always was: the innocent friendship of the children is changing, a new form for their relationship has yet to be found. This makes them insecure, frightened and carries the risk of losing the intimate relationship between them altogether. Sexuality has become important, but who wants/does what with whom? On the beach the three meet Lilli, a student, Karl falls in love with. Frida plays with Jim and Karl and is constantly on the edge between sisterly love and sexual coquetry. Secrets, confusion and jealousy keep the teenagers busy even long after they've returned home to Düsseldorf. But finally the transformation succeeds and in the end Karl, Jim and Frida find each other in a new stability: reliable yet independent.
