Nina and Angie are best friends and navigate life together. When Angie’s teenage daughter Rahel needs 300 euros for a school trip, they head straight to the bank where Nina’s husband Marc works to ask him for a small loan. But when Marc harshly rejects their request, Angie loses her temper. Things spiral out of control—and suddenly the friends find themselves trapped in the bank and unwittingly turned into hostage-takers. - www.filmportal.de
