13-year-old Jonja and her best friend Paul are inseparable and share everything. Really everything? Without telling her mother, Jonja goes on holiday with Paul's family to the sunny south. The days at the lake are exciting and beautiful. Jonja unexpectedly falls in love and her friendship with Paul becomes even more intense. She enjoys the time spent far away from her everyday family life - until the lie is finally exposed and Paul questions her friendship. What secret is Jonja guarding? What is this thing with Melanie? And above all: what would happen if…? A sensitive, authentic youth film about family problems, class differences, first love and a great friendship.
