Film synopsis: Lola, a sassy yet good-hearted 16-year-old teenager, needs to perform at school if she wants to convince her parents to let her spend a semester in Germany, an experience that, in her mind, represents liberation from family dynamics and excitement. However, her parents, who are preoccupied with her older sister's mental health issues, face financial and emotional issues that might endanger Lola's dreams. As tensions strain her relationship with family and friends, Lola becomes more determined to travel, seeking out new experiences that she hopes will provide her with a fresh perspective on herself and her circumstances.
